Default ES350 chip on ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/GAS-SAVER-LEXUS-E...QQcmdZViewItem

i know there are real, brand name chips out there, and also the opposite (shotty scams) but any thoughts? I am not seriously thinking of getting it, but if it works then why not?

void warranty? sorry if a thread like this is already up.

It's a scam, that won't do anything, except that you'll void your Lexus warranty if they find it installed in your car!

Stuff like that never fails to amaze me. Look at the number of dumb suckers out there buying these stuff and actually believing it works. Looks at the number of items this seller sold every day. This thing probably cost him dime a dozen from China. Make $15 profilt on each sale and if you can do 20 a day, that's $9000 for almost doing nothing at all at home. May be I should have my wife work from home and do this???
I can't blame for these sellers. It's those dumb suckers actually buying these crap. Car manufacturers spends millions of dollors trying to maximize the engine efficiency and believing that you can improve the fuel economy while magically gaining horsepower at the same time with a $10 plastic box with some dummy chip inside is just amazing.

I've got the best gas saver of all...drive less It's amazing how many people fall for these scams If you have extra money, I'll sell you my dirty socks with holes in them. They will keep your feet smelling clean like you've never seen.

Like the old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"...

lol. yeah i never thought it would really work for that price. but i'm just saying...there are very good performance chips out there to increase performance, not mpg. like the vishnu chip my friend keeps telling bout who just got a bmw 335i, and i'm pretty sure Toyota/lexus would definitely want to release the car with the best mpg originally from stock

It sounds like BS. Probably would make your car throw some codes.
