So what is your plan next time smog check comes around? I'm not hearing back from anyone that "helped" with smog pass in the past.. DM's are open if you have.

Anyone with an EcuTek tune know if they have a CARB legal version?

ALSO- possibly related: what shop in SoCal has the cheapest labor if we need exhaust component swaps back to stock?
I can answer one of your questions. Ecutek doesn't have a CARB legal tune. The only legal tune is the factory tune
