If you drive a V6, "performance chips" are overrated. They are very limited as far as performance is considered, and you can do much more with a good reliable pcm tune from somebody that is familiar with the equipment. Save your money and get a whisper lid and full exhaust or something else that will be worthwhile.

Visit www.fullthrottlev6.com for more information on your V6.

Maybe PCM Diagnostics and Tuning or even Stereo and Electronics. Definately not Appearance and Detailing. If the chip could transform your car from a bird to a transformer decepticon then maybe here. But until then
