Question: Is there a fuse that has this same effect? My friend that helps me do all work on my car asked me to determine this before we used the battery method. Thanks in advance!

I'm sure there is somewhere, but the battery is easier

OK, exhaust ships today... so does it make sense to just leave the negative terminal unhooked during installation?

Would y'all characterize this as a "must do" to get the most out of my existing mods (Berk HFCs and FI CF CBE) pending a tune?

Finally... if/when I do get a tune, what do I need to know from a warranty perspective? Does everything drivetrain related just become voided? My car is serviced at a dealership, so it's not like they won't notice the angled CF cans.

Yup. I did. Thats mostly a safety precaution when working on any car, just to make sure there are no live leads on the car while working on it. The second reason when installing a CAI is to reset the ECU.

This has been beaten to death a million billion times...
A tune isn't JUST for the HP gains (if any)...
I'm 100% against a tune because it plays with your warranty
PM me if you want to know why. I don't want to clutter this thread
