I've only really seen these on boosted tCs, never on a motor with just bolt-ons though.

Well the site promises easy installation...I would recommend taking the Unichip out of your car before you go to the dealership so something like that wouldn't happen. The chip is a piggy back to the cars stock ecu so if you were to take it out, you wouldnt have to get your stock ecu reflashed because a piggyback system just overides your ecu, changing your your air fuel ratio to either low or high volumes.

Just a heads up.... It's the same price on unichip's website but they are running a 10% off coupon code special. It's on their home page. Even after shipping it's still about $30 cheaper than TRD sparks

u will NOT get 15 whp on a NA setup with a piggy back system. maybe if u had a ported head and intake manifold.

I'd be ok even if it only added 10 HP, honestly... As others have said, 10 HP for $450 plus shipping!!!! That's incredible! Exhaust systems coupled with intakes that cost WELL OVER $450 (upwards of $700) only yield about a 5-10 HP gain if lucky.

depends on what ur current mods are.. if u have i/h/e and pulleys u will prob get a 5whp gain lol and its not 400shipped.. u have to get it TUNED which will cost 300+ dollars.

There are a few dyno results showing between 10 and 15 hp from just a cat back exhaust, now whether or not they have modified the sheet,im not sure, but a few folks on SL said they had it.
BTW def not $300+ to tune.. hah if that were the case that might as well call themselves Greddy

It sounds tempting, but at the same time a lot more hassle than it's probably worth. It's almost too good to be true. $400 for 10+ hp? I dunno.

WHERE is everyone coming up with this $400 figure. I clearly said $450 plus shipping. And it comes pre-tuned. Sure you can still get an more accurate tune if you take it to a unichip tuner, but not neccessary, and definitely not an addition $300
