Well it's no brainer they would sell more and make more money. So why dont they do it? I know I would buy one, but the thing thats holding me back is not being able to pass emissions.

Im with you on that, I need an EMS that I can pass emissions with. Is it possible to take out the AEM ECU and switch to stock for Emissions?

You don't really need it, it has logging capability and fault finding/cel type codes already.

Although the greddy emanage ultimate doesn't have as much scope and isn't as good i do like the fact it retains the OBD2 features.

KPro retains OBD2 for emissions checking. So long as you can pass/dont have to pass exhaust sniff.

I think the better question is why didnt Honda make the 00-05 ecu flashable? Or why didnt they pefectly tune the ecu to all of our mods? Or why didnt they give us c6z06 performance? I know I wouldve bought an s2000 if they did.

Anyways, the reason is printed right on the box, "FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY". EMS is intended for race cars and those guys have no use for OBD2.

Flashpro isn't a stand alone, its a piggy back system that "flashes" the OEM ECU with new values which allows it to retain OBD functionality.
