CA Smog Check

Hi, has anyone passed the CA smog test after using ECU Flash? I wasn't certain if ECU Flash could reflash the ECU back to stock in a way undetectable using the scan tools employed during the California smog checks.

Thanks

Yes I did and had no problems...per the previous post the just look for a check engine light and make sure there are no codes....That said, don't have any obvious modifications or you will likely fail....

Recently had a Evo 10, on E85, tuned via EcuFlash, pass the CA smog with flying colors.
