I hope someone with 350 f sport tries this out. I'm curious to find out how to activate the tuned map using the different drive modes. Will the AVS be activated if the ecu is overridden.

Affordability is the issue here. I'm about to throw a $900 Borla on my IS-F, and more. The truth in the manufactures claims are the real issue. If someone could provide independent proof, I would be inclined to roll the dice on this.

Where else could you buy it? If only them, then it is not a discount, just their everyday price.

Not your fault , I didnt include any cues, on purpose

Never know when you want to buy a car you love with high mileage because you cant afford to spend 50k on a new one

Does anyone know if there are ANY other 2IS's that have tried this???? I am local for Vivid and will be doing some research as to how long this "flash" is lasting. I am not convinced the car is staying "flashed". Every other "flash" has failed and the car has autocorrected back.

I'd like to see a dyno after 5000 miles or so to see if the car holds the "flash"

I did not intend it to be demeaning. If someone buys a high mileage car chances are they don't want to drop a bunch of money into it. I am cheap when it comes down to my high mileage S2000 which I purchased used from a family friend to used as a beater.

And that dyno sheet seems way high for an IS350 with only a cat-back exhaust (pre "flash").. C'mon mannnnnn.. ~300WHP basically stock?

I'm staying extremely skeptical for the time being..

Let's stay on point..

A. Why does this dyno sheet appear WAY high?

B. What makes this different from every other "flash"?

C. Has there been even ONE other IS that has used this product?

I live in AZ and have some friends, that know some of the Vivid people, inquiring personally to find out how legit it is.

Has anyone on here had any personal experience with VRTuned products?
