Default Can removing cel clear reflash?

Hi everyone. My car was throwing a cel from the high flow cats and when I went to get it removed, I think it cleared my Technosquare reflash as well. Is this possible? For some reason my car doesn't seem to pull as hard as before. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks

only way is if the dealer reprogrammed the ECU and not just cleared the code, just clearing codes doesn't remove flash

Oh ok. I guess it's just me then. I did swap the aftermarket intakes I had back to stock ones so maybe that's why the car doesn't feel as fast. Thanks!

that will do it, because you are probably running richer than it is tuned for

I swapped them because when Tadashi was tuning the car he said oem air boxes work better than aftermarket intakes. He tuned it to run on the stock intakes with exhaust and HFCs. However, when I swapped the intakes out with factory ones I felt the car lost a little bit of power (or it's just me). The cel had been on for quite sometime so I wasn't sure if clearing it removed the tune. I guess it could be the ecu that is causing it to run lean and make less power.

It's probably just you. The flash isn't removed.
