Or buy APR Plus for a few hundred more. If you're stage 2 and above you have hardware to remove. Nothing stopping you from using a piggyback or APR Plus with a downpipe if you want to remove it before taking it in for warranty work. Even paying to remove it and towing is cheaper.

Someone send it to APR or one of the tuners to see what they think.
Denial is not a river in Egypt.
It's right above the the River of Tears.

This enables you to commit Fraud?
I'm confused as to its purpose other than attempted warranty shenanigans. Seems like ridiculous lengths to dodge paying to play, especially since it's expensive itself.

I think many people are misunderstanding this. Magic Motorsports is very well known in the industry for ECU tools, however these tools and licenses are really only for places that tune cars. This is not something for a person that wants to tune their car. The tuner who did my car uses Magic Motorsports and told me about many of their features and the stuff is great but again you have to be selling a lot of tunes to justify the cost.
What tuner does that, when there is no flash counter anymore?

Cobb flashes CAN be detected though, that’s already a known thing.
The way I see it, if this doesnt exist in the domestic world, with incredibly easier computers to hack, it wouldnt happen in the Euro world. I cant imagine an oe, or oe supplier not having iron clad non compete clauses from allowing their engineers from disclosing what they know to aftermarket companies, or founding one.
From what I "heard" this is how the tuners get the ECU information for their tunes.

Since this would essentially be insurance- what mechanical failures,other than blowing the engine, could happen that would justify the $5k price tag? A blown turbo would be around half that, right?
And if this product is legit, I would imagine auto manufacturers would be suing these guys into oblivion
