Try the search button and be careful next time you hit submit, hit it once no matter what, even if you get the cannot display page error message.

I have had a few warranty repairs done on my modified MCS without any problems from the dealer.

Which Borla exhaust do you have and what is your opinion on it? Would you recommend it over the Magnaflow?

You can PM FLKeith to discuss Borla vs Magnaflow or post in another thread.

This thread is on MCS warranties- most times nothing happens and the dealer needs to prove that the mod caused the problem. If the mods are indirectly causing troulbe then the dealers hip will need to figure out what is causing what.

Generally there is little trouble from Mods but the potential is there.
Many dealers are cool on mods- you can ask your service manager about that.
Odds are if they sell aftermarket upgrades in the service/parts area then it is OK to have some mods.
