Once you modify the kit past what we have designed we will not warranty or support it because we have not tested/approved what someone might do with the kit. At that point we cannot warranty an issue that could have been caused by a modification. Think like upgraded heat exchangers, Blow Off Valves, Couplers, etc won't affect a warranty because they don't mechanically effect the kit in a stressful way. Upping the boost, custom tunes, different MAF's, altering the intake piping, etc are all things that the kit was not originally designed for. Even if it works, we have to tested it to the point where we recommend it, so we do not support it. Hope that helps.

Awesome so when you need an idler pulley because you bought a used kit Stillen wont support you with out the hassle of a waver and money order so they can't be held liable for your missing part for the previous owner..

Great F_ _ _ ing way to support the car community. Your business model rocks, good luck with that !!!!

When I originally started thinking FI. I called Stillen and GTM to discuss their kits options. The technical guy I talked to at Stillen told me they highly recommended me getting a professional dyno tune since all cars were different and that was the only way to get the most out of their kit. Funny to hear a couple years later that following their recommendation would have void their warranty.

It was always that way :/ When I bought my kit 3 years ago they REFUSED me to get a custom tune even if they picked the tuner :/..

They have said they have made changes to their tunes since then but at that time the SC kit and tune made a WHOPPING 342 WHP

I whole 42 more WHP than my bolt ons and for only $9600
