yes it is true there has been reports of a power decrease. some have reported back though that if there is any power decrease, it isnt too significant to them. it is personal preference though.

it will mostly be the sound of the exhaust. there really isnt any change in sound with having the scoop and air filter, but dyno-proven power.

will not trigger any error light based on past experiences and customers, but if something is found faulty at the dealer like a bad MAF sensor then they can easily put the blame on the intake if they wanted to. and as for the exhaust just leave the cats untouched and it should be fine. honestly best intake setup would be the scoop and filter compared to the open-air filter. dealers usually dont mind an aftermarket air filter with the stock airbox.
