Does anyone remove/cut your Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)?

That might be slightly true in a V8 or V12 engine that's been run at max rpm on a race track. But driving a little four cyclinder Toyota around? There's no way that's going to be an issue.

 

I don’t think Prius and other Toyotas in the US have them as far as I know.

In any case, it is illegal to tamper with any kind of emissions systems, not to mention that the car will fail the emissions inspection or test.

 

maybe not in AL?

 

Albania.
Europe uses particle filters for gasoline cars. IIRC, it is the same limits as for diesel.

 

So, no GPF and DPF in Albania?

 

Is Toyota making a Euro 5 emission Gen5 for importation to Albania?

 

LOL It was meant for humor, asking if Albania was exempt from GPF and DPF requirements.

 

This is a Europe/USA difference I'd missed. The GPF gets half a page in the European manual about the possible error conditions - posted here for the benefit of others.
