Hello; My take likely is not popular. I have been looking for a Mustang. At first for a new factory car, but lately for a used Mustang. Mostly the late 1990's to early 2000's of late.
I have passed on those without cats and also those advertised as having a non-factory tune. May be fixing a tune is simple. I just do not have a smart phone nor the computer skills/equipment needed. So, knowing a used car does not have a modified tune would be a positive.
In general my take is regulations will trend toward prevention of aftermarket tunes. May be those diesel tunes that "roll coal" are what tipped the scales. I have seen stories about diesel tuners being fined and likely put out of business. Removing cats and tunes bother some of the EPA types.
I first noted this trend on lawn mowers years ago.
