California Smog Requirements for those with a tune

gbinckes · 07-15-2021, 10:31 AM

I have been saving up for a Kerma Stage II but saw this announcement this morning. Does anyone understand what this really means for tuning? Seems like this could be trouble for all the smaller tuners and an issue for anyone with a tune.

It's may be a problem for any and all software manipulations of any kind, small or large tuner.. and even the potentially CARB approved ones.
It all depends how they check it. I am curious.

A 2015 would be able to be returned to stock easily though with the flasher devices, however.
