A standalone will NEVER pass plug in emissions checks. They might be able to fake the responses to the tester but that would land them in some very high water. With the current climate in the industry towards emissions this is going to be a bigger and bigger issue moving forward. Regardless of your political leanings (in the States at least) its happening.
Our kit does provide that if you plug a generic scan tool into the OBD2 port it will respond with emissions monitor results from the LS PCM. This is in no way us "defeating" the system or getting around it, but putting the proper responses on the bus so that most plug in emissions test will pass if the LS PCM deems them passing. If you really have an issue with emissions in your state, get an E-Rod kit and our module. If the inspector is lazy and doesn't notice there aren't any checks for evaporative emissions present, you are free!
Passing evaporative emissions with an LS PCM isn't the easiest thing, but its doable.

This is all true. The Erod seems like the only true legal swap that can be done and pass emissions. Anything else is on the owner because no shop is willing to take the fine/jail time for making a fake emissions program.
