[QUOTE="Exxit, post: 16644966, member: 113956"] For those worried about the color red or the color blue; you'll need to worry about who is in the oval office. The consensus is that CARB regs are due to hit [i]nationwide [/i]by 2024. Since most if not ALL aftermarket parts are now coming with an assumed use of 100% offroad operation this makes it tough for any lawmaker, left or right, to argue that on road cars should be exempt from any emissions related regulation once its rolled out. The very important point to know though, is if: 1. a flash tune from a tuner (some use software suite versions of what the handhelds do) that is then reverted using a handheld tuner or the tuner's OBD interface software to stock; will it report an incorrect or flaggable CVN? It seems like there would be a leniency for amount of times flashed because if I bought a whipple kit and I went from stock to whipple, and say back to stock because of reasons, then I'm above the flash count. Does that flag me? I've read folks explain it as, a reflashed ECU may report an incorrect CVN, and if it does you'd have to take a referee appointment and verify the car is indeed running the stock tuning. Maybe showing them the file name would help? (lol joke) Its going to get messy for some folks. I'm looking at the cali folks with built motors on cams. And you may be thinking "there is no one showing up with a built motor and cams for a smog." Well a lot of the greased palms have either retired, gotten popped, or are now too scared. I'd suggest calling your "plug" and having a chat with them in a month or two when some of these nightmares actually happen. I bet soon we'll see folks on the forums asking for help on how to handle this. [/QUOTE]
