If so, how are you guys passing? Help a brother out if you got a contact in the DFW area. 😬

problem is going to be with a CEL or readiness of the emissions system. In TX you can have 1 system in 'not ready' state, so if you can get a tune that will clear or suppress the CEL then you could probably just roll up to any inspection shop and pass.

Yep. I have the Eurocharged tune but from what they’ve told me before, I don’t believe they have the capability to do that. I was curious if anyone had any other experiences they might have had in how to bypass it.

Does Eurocharged support changing the tune with a handheld and cable yet?

If not ... You could send ECU back to Eurocharged for a stock flash but thats a lot of hassle and downtime.

Or just invest in a spare stock flashed ECU to have for yearly swapping.

On other platforms I have seen where people have created or sold simple wired devices that you can use to fake the front catalytic converter signal to the ECU, but the results seem to be pretty inconsistent and I don't know if anyone even makes something like that for our vehicles.

Or you might just have to "know a guy"

Definitely don’t care enough to do any of that. I was mainly looking for “a guy.” 🤣

Uhh... flashing back to stock or swapping ECU's doesn't fix emissions with cattless DP's.

Just because the tune suppresses the CEL does NOT mean you will pass. Where are you getting all this information??

You are right, I was reading/responding to threads late and guess I was tired and conflated different topics.

If you dont have a CEL, and the stations dont (usually) do a visual for OBDII vehicles, and emissions is the only system in Not Ready state ... you should pass. In Tx.

If theres no tune that will suppress the CEL then theres no way to pass a legit inspection. You need "a guy".

... Are you sure? So you are telling me that
the OBD2 can say "NOT emissions compliant", but as long as the CEL light is off, you'll pass emissions??
