Stay away from intakes if you are worried about engine troubles.


Cat-backs are fine. They are installed after any sensors and after the main exhaust restrictions (the cats). A cat-back will not be cause to deny an engine warranty claim.


Just remember that a dealership CANNOT void your warranty. They can only deny a claim if a modified part caused the issue.
Sorry, what's MAF? and does this mean that an ECU tune would be a 'high risk' activity?

Didn't expect to get this much input, I really appreciate it guys! Thanks!
