Call Brent at the above number. He's an XCal dealer and has custom tunes on it. I bought mine from him and he is great to deal with. I'd call several of these tuners and then pull the trigger based on my own research. Can't go wrong with Brent though in my opinion...

If your worried about the warranty then the best thing to do is nothing at all and leave the car stock. Some dealers are ok with mods and other are not it is a very gray area.
For what ti worth though i absolutely love my C&L CAI with the Brenspeed Tune i have. Simply AWESOME!!!

As Richard said, some dealers are OK with the tunes. Others are not. If the warranty bothers you, you may want to go with the FRPP tune. Just a thought.

RE: No B.S Tuner Question~
You've got some good advice from the others in this forum.
One thing to keep in mind, regarding the warranty, is that it all comes down to your dealer. As was posted earlier, some dealers will throw a fit, others are OK with it. However that's all that really matters. There isn't some magical tuner that is OK with your warranty while others are not. They are all the same.
All the tuners (the device) do the same thing. They are just a tool that copies a tune file onto your car's computer. There is no functional or quality difference between the big-name tuners (again, the devices). The key is to get good TUNES (the files themselves). The way to do this is to buy from an established tuning shop that has a dyno on the premisies, not a mail-order warehouse that will simply give you the factory default tunes. Brent @ Brenspeed is a great choice. There are others as well.

From what I have read, Brenspeed enjoys a positive reputation with customers.
I went with Evolution and a C & L CAI. My purchase experience and resulting performance gains were very satisfactory. Since I have not tried anybody else's tunes (like 99% of other posters), I can't make any comparative comments. Suffice to say there are a number of reputable tuners out there that will give you good bang for your buck.
