Legally if you go in with test pipes they aren't support to let you leave until they install cats for you so be careful with that one. Other than that I don't think it will matter. They have to prove that the mods are what did the damage and honestly, none of those mods could cause any issues really unless improperly installed. GL

 

just wondering, how many miles has this been going on for?

 

it just started recently so i would say about 5000 miles ago.

 

Called the dealer today and the guy said i have to get a series of oil changes from them so they can monitor the oil levels to see if the engine is consuming too much. Need to remove the test pipes before i take it in though.

 

well not a series of oil changes more like 1 oil change they top it off to the H mark and u come back every 1000 miles and the check it top it off and so on until u hit ur 3k for ur next oil change by then they will know.

 

thanks for clearing that up. That service advisor didn't know what he was talking about.

 

yep. as i said in the OC threads. make sure you are there when the fill it. dont let them over fill. and when they check it be preset so theres no question where the oil was measured. you dont have to be mean about it just say would would like to see it all before they seal it. also make sure its right b4 you leave when they top it off. GL man

 

Which dealership did you call?

IOT seems to be best with modifications. Either IOT or Annapolis but IOA is a lot farther from you.

As you probably know most of us haven't had the best experiences at JIC. If you're definitely going to JIC talk to Dante 'cuz he knows a guy that works there.

 

Yea Dante told me to call this guy at JIC but i couldn't get a hold of him so i talked to another service advisor who confused me even more. Ill give a call to IOT too.

 

Good idea... Dante trusts his guy, but aside from that I don't trust anyone at JCI.

 

I just checked my oil level and there is no oil at all! That means that the engine burned 5 qts of oil in less than 1000 miles.

 

well if its off the dip stick it burned atleast 2qtsish from L to H is 1qt. im not sure how it scales further down but the stick doesnt reach the bottom of the ban. but dam u got a very serious OC prob. how do your tail pipes look ? with that much OC i would think they are just about driping with oil. Had a Z that literally dripped out oil form the tips terrible. GL

 

Damn that's crazy... back to the dealership!

 

After i got the test pipes put on i noticed the tail pipes got blacker faster. They arent dripping or anything though.

 

lol ye thats cause there are no cats to clean up the exhuast gases so all the carbon is jus sticking to your pipes i would put the cats back on asap and bring it in.
