Who do you think is smarter: Tuners who figured this out a long time ago and realized they could lose their businesses and go to jail if they did it, or the tuners who figured it out and decided to commit a federal felony so they could differentiate themselves from the competitors?

BTW, it's usually not a good idea to admit on a public car forum that you're committing a federal felony by knowingly installing something on your car that was designed to trick the federal smog laws. Just saying.
