A new header will just as easily void your waranty. If the ecu upgrade was a piggy-back all you would have to do is unplug it from your oem ecu and reset the computer, then techs wouldn't know the difference. Also, I believe if a problem does occur under waranty the service center has to directly contribute the problem to the aftermarket part. Anyone else want to elaborate on waranty issues after aftermarket parts?

1k for 12hp w/o a turbo or supercharger sounds good. Do you guys know that because that is real power and torque, you will feel a difference??? The exhaust will give you an extra10hp more once you add your turbo ...so think about the future.

where have you been? There are over 3 companies now with independent parts that produce I,H,E that do produce over 24hp 25tq to the wheels.

this has been beat to death at clubsciontc, but as far as ive read, the dealership must have written proof that the aftermarket part has a direct relation to the damaged part in need of service. how much of a probability that is, i dont know. lowering springs messing up your axle, wells, or anything else; im going to say less probable. hydrolocking your engine from a CAI if you live in seattle; maybe more probable. it seems to be a gamble to me, but again, dealerships are snakes, so just be careful.

Is this the website you're talking about? http://alphawerks.com/alpha_interface_dyno.htm


Got some links? The website I linked above is the only one I've seen with results like that (and sadly, they don't even say which parts they used )

Clearly you havent done much research they do specify which parts they use,intake header, throttle body,and full exhaust. Here is the link.

Its very possible to get very nice gains with this vehicle on the mentioned parts. Unfortunately cel issues im sure are prevalent and the R&D simply isnt there. I myself will wait untill the larger companies come out with products that are more stable and better researched, products that will give you the same or better gains with out the the annoying CEL light on your dash.

When I said they didn't specify what parts, I meant that they didn't specify what brand of parts they used. There's more than one type of intake, headers, and exhausts after all- that info would have been much more useful to me. I've only seen one throttle body advertised here so far.

Thanks for the other link though. It definitely is still a waiting game for a greater variety of aftermarket parts to be released.
