how often does a dealer flash/upgrade your ecu? and could this void any or "the" warranty?

What if you have this scoop and a AFE intake? I would really want this...

The tune will work with both, BUT the max gains will be for the stock airbox and scoop.

Is it possible just to bring the car right to RPI and get the reflash done on the same day?

The dealer ususally doesn't reflash the system unless they need to go in there for electrical warranty or they need to reboot the software. This will not void warranty as the dealer will NOT be able to see it

That's what I was wondering. I'd love to see PRI dyno a 545 with the exhaust, tune, and intake. I'd like to see the results of this vs stock. And if it's close to 30 whp gain, it's a good deal. If it's only 15-20. Then might as well just get the tune done. amirite?

Reflashes apply only to the original purchaser of the tune. If the car is sold, the reflash policy does not apply. PC charges $100 per reflash or update. IF your ecu is wipe by the dealership, PC will flash the tune back on for $100 (it takes time to do it so at $100, its still a bargain). For those who purchase the tunes from us, we pay for the first reflash after the original tune.
Different question. I've got Dinan Stage III software upgrade. Do I need to have that 'cleared' or removed at the Dinan dealer before I send the ECU to you? Another vendor said that clearing is required to ensure the cleanest flash for their system. Just another trip to the dealer I'd like to avoid...
