Haven't heard of them before, sound like some stuff that would break your car down imo
I used D3 and they're reputable and reliable.
Might try out OV

Agreed. A) Prices are too good to be true and B) 9 times out of 10, something that just plugs into your OBD-II port is going to do nothing.

OV/VF is promising but pretty sure can't fix his code problem, I know they can't with F models.

Is your code P0420 or P0430? If so, those codes are due to you not having cats. The codes can't be fixed unless you have cats or tune out the codes. OV/VF has not allowed that option with certain models, including F cars. You need a tuner who can turn off those codes. Make sure they can before you get a tune.

Did you consider RR Racing tune? Curious as why you went with D3 vs them.
