The tuners do code out the CEL. The issue is when you get plugged into the machine for the inspection and your OBD readiness is not set. It's an automatic fail.
I would think it's more on the header manufacturers. There needs to be more R&D into o2 sensor placement. It can't be all that hard for this to be figured out. It it needs to be moved up, back, or the bung made so the sensor isn't in the exhaust stream so much. I don't know, but wishful thinking.
Know any local tuners? (bay area) I grew up in SJ but I live in Union City now, north of Fremont
hey man. Only local tuner that is worthy is AED but its up north Sacramento. Did you try Lund?
I suppose I could try Lund. I figured maybe a local tuner would be more cost effective since the purpose of the tune is basically just to have the headers without it throwing a code.
I would go with Lund for your bolt ons. Its going to cost as much for dyno tune in our area. Lund also has lifetime tune revisions. A lot of 350 owners are tuned by Lund
your really can't go wrong, and even when you go power adder, lund can dial that in too, so muchmore experience than anyone
I can appreciate that but in California unless the cats are in the factory location it will fail visual. That's why it doesn't matter if it's O/R or not because typically people will have someone pass it. No one here likes CARB
Because keeping readiness on runs the system through it's checkpoints. When it reaches those O2's, it will fail.
I know. I am saying mod the code so it doesnt fail. For example my buddy has a tuned 335 with FBO. He does not need to disable anything because the tuners mod the code in the ECU to always read PASS.
Because it's highly illegal.
