If you show that you have spent over a certain amount of money to fix a
problem, you can get a waiver for that year only.  The next year you'll
have to spend the same amount in order to get a waiver again.

Modifying the programming of the ECC is *not* a task that you want to
take on yourself.  If you can show that the removal of the system does
not affect the compliance with emissions standards for that model year,
you might be able to get away with modifying it, but you'll have to get
to know the programming of your ECC quite intimately and if any updates
to the firmware become available that get pushed to your computer while
it is in the shop, you'll have to patch those updates as well.

Personally, I wouldn't even attempt it.
