It's probably not until turbo pipes and intercooler. Exhaust is so minor and the flash is so hard to detect that you can remove all your parts and keep the flash and they wouldn't know without going into the fuel cells.

The real concern is that most dealers will be "okay" with it right up until you actually need a warranty claim. Impossible to know what they will really be like until that point. =/

Exactly
They have the right to refuse. So it's impossible to know until you actually have a problem...

That's why you save your stock rom and stock parts. I even backed up my stock rom on my email address. I'd only goto the dealer if it was catastrophic with the SST.

If you go in once with the aftermarket parts on, and they make a note of it, and then you go back for a warranty claim with no after market parts on, they can still deny you based on the fact that they know you had aftermarket parts on there. So if they claim those parts caused the issue, you may be out of luck.

I guess they keep sending me the free oil change coupons for keeping a check on me. hahahah!
My 4th one!!

Usually the counter guy gives my car to the asian mechanic. Which he doesn't say anything about my car. So they never mark it. I hope they don't do it this weekend when I get another free oil change. *crosses fingers*
