Is it okay to buy a car w/o emission parts?

im looking at a car w/o the emission parts
Most states have emissions test you have to pass ……so check yours first.
second……..yeah….IMO……the engines last longer without emissions devices.
emission devices usually recycle the exhaust gas back into the intake…..this has a leaning effect…..more air….and air heats things up verses more fuel that would wet and cool the [...]
