thanks for all suggestion.
here is my situation, the 'x' is my daily commute car with roughly 100 miles daily. and i need the factory warranties if in case things break down. once a while i may bring it to a track for couple laps. most likely i will bring it back to dealer for schedule service. if i goto iveytune for the tune, will that void the factory warrenties?
welcome to all suggestions!
thanks in advance

nothing but it is likely your dealer will attribute them to any potential warranty issues

Looking into finishing the exhaust for the full TBE. (*sigh* yes ive searched*sigh again* and emailed the vendor) The down pipe isnt an issue but the test pipe says for offroad use which is probably just some disclaimer because alot of people use full tbe and it causes a CEL which i know you can get a thing to make it go away but then some people say it doesnt work..is it only for that code that makes it go away...thanks and sorry for the 20 questions i just like to be well informed before i purchase things.

They have to put "for off road use only" because it's illegal to remove your emissions equipment like that, even though they know 9 times out of 10 that it's probably going to go on a streetcar. It's kind of like head shops selling bongs and bowls as "tobacco pipes."
