I've got an 01 base. So the argument regarding the warranty is irrelevant to me, since mine expired quite a while ago. But I would be interested in other's opinions on the software in question. AND... I went to their web site and they don't seem to have an application for (at least older) non S models. Is that the case? I tried to email them through their web site but the security code you have to enter to be able to send the email never came up. hmmmmmm LOL...since this is a software company and the security code seems to be a software problem is that an omen? Nevertheless, opinions from users would be helpful in making a decision.

We have several clients that use it and like it. I have not seen before and after dyno runs on their cars, but have been told that they have seen gains, particularly on cars with headers and “test pipes” installed, but I have no supporting data other than what they have told me.

As for what models software is available for, you would have to go to the vendor directly for that info………….

Thanks. What are "test pipes"? Straight pipes with no cats or mufflers?

"Test pipes" are catless replacements that they are not supposed to sell, so they call them test pipes for diagnostic use. Kind of a "wink, wink, nod, nod" thing. All the cars have mufflers, but some where factory, some aftermarket.
