ok, I scheduled to have this fuel line crap done but my car is modded and tuned. Uic pipe, intake, exhaust test pipe the whole nine. Are they going to be cool with my mods or screw me and flash my tune back stock and void my warranty?

heh, I can't believe how many times this question has been asked.

They aren't going to revert your tune. That would be very dumb on their part because it would put your car in serious jeopardy with "mods" on it and not being tuned for them. You'd have a heavy lawsuit on your hands if they did that.

As far as voiding your warranty... the odds are good. Some dealerships take pictures of the modded parts and associate them with your vin. Some don't care at all. Some only car the day you take your car in for warranty work. It's a crap shoot. Personally, I remove my modded parts before I go in. But that's me.

I had mine done last week fully modded. They didn't say much other than mention that it was going to take a little more time to get it done because of my mods (yeah right). They still put my stuff back together wrong and had a screw end from another line resting on top of the new fuel line they just put in. Man I was pissed. I was like WTF are they trying to kill me?? I took pictures... and will post soon.

I didn't need the AWC TSB Flash. Had I needed it I would have to un-install my COBB AP first.
I always thought about what would happen if they flash your ECU without telling you and mess up your tune or worse brick your ECU.

It's cases like this why I love my Cobb AP. I just unmarry the unit from the ECU before I take it in to the dealership, then install it back when I pick it up.
