how is everyone getting more power without voiding warranty?

[enjoi23]

I know plenty of people are on the quest for more power, as am i, but i was wondering what's the best ways you guys are achieving that without voiding warranty? I have an intake and exhaust picked out already, but what else is there really? I know the tune is amazing, but that would void warranty like a turbo. Other than exhaust and intake, I'm pretty clueless on what the next thing is for gains..

A tune does not void warranty.

You can always re flash back to stock before bringing it to the dealer for any work

It does keep a count of how many times its been flashed, but it is not visible from the dealers end.

easiest no worries mods you can do is a cat back exhaust (or really any exhaust) and a drop in filter. Strut tower bar and transmission mount support/ drivetrain bushings. Hell, a heavy shift knob is a good upgrade.

I was worried about it showing up in the system.. Is it hard to flash it back and forth? I don't know much about anything tune wise, but it sounds like it could take a toll on the car doing that. And if the dealer can't see it, who can?

You typically pay for the reflashes. If you are super concerned with it there is a cheaper flash made by @Unichip Jack that is a piggy back so if you are a frequent shop visitor that would honestly be your cheapest route.

Hm, how much would reflashes be?

I have not looked at the price for the Unichip yet, but most Ecutek flashes (which I have) run between 850-1k dollars. This will include the software, cable, license, and the specific tune for your vehicle. It is super easy to flash back to stock. The flashes are stored on your laptop, and can be switched back and forth within a couple of min. This is done with a cable that connects your OBD port to your computer.

Make friends with the people at your dealer....Best way to get around it.

Really there is not much. As stated an E85 Tune is about the only thing atm.
