Stillen intake ruined by dealership.

Well I guess it could be fixed but I would rather have them buy me a new one

My instant reaction was this /\ but then I read about the over torquing the bolts. HOLY Sh*t! He must have over tightened by 60 turns!!!!

Those STILLEN pipes are VERY sturdy and you can even use them as a self defense item (if you're in a bad situation

). wow.. As a GTR tech, that's a shame. 2 weeks NO PAY suspension will teach him a lesson!

He can replace them but he is not touching my car ever again.

screw warranty my tunar dude can properly do maintenance better than the guys at the dealership

A good Muffler shop can make those round again, but you really should expect better from a GTR tech....

Well that is what the real deal is. I haven't had any issues with the dealer. I also haven't asked them to do anything but regular maintenance items either.

It's a sad day when a "supercar" tech shows his true colors in this way.

Yea but he may be killing those 80 GTRs if he works on them in the same manner.
