DP, Tune and a Claim

[CarlosCanizares]

Let's hypothetically say...

I installed a tune (regardless of what brand and stage) on my car and a downpipe. If I need to make a warranty claim regarding my motor, would you:

...remove the tune and the downpipe (re-install the OEM) or remove just the tune (keep the aftermarket DP) before heading back to the dealer?

Any foreign item on my car related to the issue is subject to denial of warranty, correct?

Just wondering if a Stage 2 is an option for me considering the cost to swap out the downpipes.

Cheers for the input.

Remove everything if it's just the turbo the dealer will probably replace without the regional rep coming out to see the car personally. If you blow the motor too, the regional rep will inspect the car with a fine toothed comb. You need to be more stock than stock.
