Hey, I'm curious what your guys' general practice is for taking a car with basic mods into the dealership.

specifically, md 5/16" thermal spacer, ztube and pop charger. i've read a bunch of posts referencing the magnusson act, but i know that law in theory and law in practice can be TOTALLY different...

do you guys take spacers and ztubes off before taking your cars to the dealership for service?

any socal dealerships that don't care about this stuff? maybe... santa monica or thousand oaks, anyone know? THANKS. 3 months in and ready to take it to my dealership for the 7500 service.

 

i go back to full stock when I take her in. down to the CC's and bulbs... thats just me though with the PITA POS stealership that I usually go to

 

you should be fine with what you have

 

I am leaving my intake on and taking it in with warrenty work cause it has nothing to do with what they are going to be working on

 

I had my dealer install the mods. Now they can't complain.

 

^^good idea, expensive??

 

crazy, man. you ever time yourself stripping all the stuff out, including the spacer i'm guessing you used to have installed? just curious.

 

i can get completely back to stock in under an hour.. and that's taking my time.

 

Damn, that must be a huge PITA. My dealer is going to install Crawford headers on my G soon.

 

If the dealer themselves didn't install it, I'd go back completely stock. The take notes of whats there and whats not so if down the road you have a problem they can weasel their way out of the warranty. If the dealer installs it then you shouldn't have much to worry about.

 

it all depends how **** ur dealer is Mine could care less i had to have an engine swap at 5000 miles. i wss starting to get worried that they were gonaa say somthing but they didnt care and when they had my engine out they put on stillen headers for me and swapped all my other parts over.

 

it's not that bad at all actually. It's fun working on the G
