Default TSP and others to stop selling LT headers?

I’ve heard a few rumors on social media that Texas Speed specifically and other manufacturers are ceasing production of long tube headers and the like due to the current EPA clown show. Any truth to this?

Seems unlikely given that most LT's state they are for off road use only.

it seems like the EPA under the current presidential administration is no longer making the distinction on where a vehicle is operated, but simply whether or not it’s an emission controlled vehicle.

Believe Stainless Works and some others stopped awhile back. More reason to go turbo!

NASCAR can go away completely.

I think we all know that's a crock of ****, doesn't take a rocket scientist to compute the sales numbers for off road use items and start cracking down. I think headers, test pipes, high flow cats, all that stuff is going to come under increased scrutiny.

SW will still sell long tubes with high flow or “green” cars. I guess that’s something.
