Default Changing a map back to standard?

Hi, a few years ago I had my WRX remapped to great effect, but now I am sadly selling the car. As the car still has the stock ECU can a dealer just flash the current Subaru map onto the car to bring it back to standard or do I need to see if the mapper can roll back his change? The dealer want the car as close to standard so he can sell it.

Thanks.

The dealer has mentioned he wants to replace the Scoobyworld cat back system for the standard layout but thats about it. The car was not heavily modded anyway. All that I had done to it was a panel filter, cat back system and the remap.

Can the oe map be reloaded by the dealer (he is a authorised Subaru dealer), or do I need to go back to the guy who mapped my car?

Thanks!
