askiles said:The long tube headers and h-pipe are for off-road use, but the cat4ward headers are street legal. So, you won't go through emissions with the long tube headers and an h-pipe from JBA, but you will with the shorty headers. Also, I talked to my dealer about what mods will void the warranty, and they said that the only way the warranty would be voided is if the mod did the damage. I was also told that, the headers may create extra heat around the streering shaft in the engine bay, which is small in diameter, and it may hurt this. There are plenty of ways to remidy that though. Hope this helps some of you out.

while by law this is true, if the dealership chooses to void the warranty you'll have to fight them for them to enforce it (because WE are right. but they will fight it)h0tr0d said:Installing headers and exhaust products won't void your warranty.

Just because you put on exhaust and do a cold air intake does not mean you will need a chip/flash.

i have LTs and i have not needed a tune, and if you talk to any pro-racer they will tell you the same, that a tune is not necessary for just adding headers.95snoozer said:are you new?
adding longtubes moves the o2s back and causes the reading to change. they dont heat up as well as with shorties and this causes a rich condition at idle and can cause surge.
