Default if i got the overkill tune...

would that void my warrany? or could i opt to keep my original computer and swap it back out of the tuned comp. if it needed serviced. also how hard is it to find a dealer to install this for me and what should i expect to pay. with that being said is it all worth it? i have the o7 ss. opinions please! ty guys!

I'm not sure if it would void your warranty..

Why would you want a dealer to install it for you though? It's plug and play within a relearn.

It's definitely worth it, getting DOD removed means your car won't sound like a helicopter when it goes into DOD, making all exhaust in the future well worth it.

Do you plan on modding more? I would maybe hold off on the tune if you have more planned.

got the cai intake and magnaflow mufflers. not much more id want to do so no. thats all i will be doing. i hate the rev limiter and the dod sound. so do i go for it? even though its plug and play i wouldnt trusy myself installing it. so what about 30 bucks for somebody else to do it? then i could always feep my old one and swap it out if something needed to be fixed by the dealer. id just lose the discount from overkill.

What CAI did you get and did you install that yourself. And if you're worried about voiding your warranty just keep your stock and swap it out as necessary if you're getting dealership work done....

The pcm sits in the bottom of the CAI...

I doubt a shop would do it for $30, their hourly wage is usually like double that.

I say go for it, but if you do run into a warranty issue, you're not going to be able to take it out yourself... that's the only problem I see.
