Sorry dude but you don't know what you are talking about with regards to what happens down here and it's not as simple as you make it out.
The EPA will unplug the AFM, it's a 30sec check to tell them if you have an aftermarket ECU or not. They are not stupid down here unfortunately.
If the AFM unplug doesn't work, then they will look closer at things like injectors (colour of tops), and even open up the ECU case. I've had them open up the case on my ECU as the consult port wasn't working, which they can also plug into.
