Hi ! Just got a 5 speed V6 2005 Convertible Mustang.
Installed the GT twin muffler system + a MAC air Filter and just don't feel to spend another $350 dollar to flash the chip.
I'm not sure how this work but can someone who has a predator or a X-Cal be able to Flash my chip ? Like renting the service instead of buying it ?
Is their something I don't get here ?,...........John-F / Montreal.

SCT and Diablo tunes both lock themselves to the car they are used on. They do this to prevent exactly what you're asking to do, unfortunatly. Reflashing the car to stock should "release" the tuner and allow it to be used on another car, but only one at a time. You could always try the trick disconnecting the battery and letting the computer readjust itself that way. Not as effective, but better than nothing.

Tks a lot guys, I get it now, might as well buy an SCT or a Diablo however, what do you think of the "Sniper" I've got a lap top and it seems to be more versatile (and $50 cheaper ?) for the fact that you can get preset tunings off the net, such as a tune for a V6 with Twin Mufler and MAC Air Filter mod like I did. In other words,... what's best ?
