Questions about installing the intakes and exhaust.

I agree a catback would not be an issue for the vast majority of dealers, however depending on the issue, the intakes might cause some headaches. Really depends on the dealership and of course the service manager.

You always have the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act that is supposed to protect owners, but that doesn't mean you still wouldn't have headaches to deal with and some fighting to do.

I really just depends on how safe you want to be and how much you want to avoid any potential headaches with the dealer on warranty issues.

I would guess most shops will give you a cheaper price than the dealer though. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

There is always the option of just installing them yourself if you have the tools/time.

CBE's are really simple to swap if you're not doing HFCs/TPs.

Intakes, depending on which one you went with, are also fairly simple to do.

Just a thought.
