My local dealer (non-Dinan) wouldn't touch my car because he pulled the torque map to see if it was modded. I asked about codes and he said that too many ppl can clear them so they look elsewhere now.

My Dinan dealer is 40 minutes away but worth the extra trip.

thanks for all the replies guys, I got about 2 years left in the warranty, so I might just hold off on the performance mods

but the rpi scoop, whatever that is and the exhaust sounds like a good deal

I am also going to go for some wheels, 19s or 20s, spacers as well

Id like to run some wide tires on the back too and maybe lower the car about an inch or so

Pm Nerweezy for the scoops and filter. As for the exhaust you can Pm RPiPower. The exhausts are on clearance sale too!!!

They have to show that whatever issue causing you to bring your car in is related to the mod in order for them to claim it is not under warranty. If you have an issue they deem related to the non-standard exhaust they can tell you it's out of warranty for that work. But let's say if you need new injectors for whatever reason, you're covered.

how would a scoop void warrenty? all it does it clip on to the inside of your grill where the stock airbox draws in air.
