Well..... I already got my car back for the valve spring recall. I have a Sprintex SC on it with out the heat exchanger installed. Yeah, they charged me a 3 hour flat fee for labor because of it. They had to pull my SC so that they could use the tapped hole up front meant to be used to pull the engine. Not to mention the back of the SC was in the way of where the chain would be attached. But you know what, so be it. I didn't have to put in any wrench time and I was complimented by the mechanic doing the job saying that I did a fine job modifying my car as it still looks stock, but obviously is more than stock.
