i might be mistaken, but in your case
i think you are just gonna leave the
car the way it is and just ask the dealership
to not flash the pcm

i think it will work out, just be upfront with
them, right from the beginning.

When I had a similar set up I talked to one of the mechs on the phone before I brought it in for a recall and a free oil change, he told me to flash the comp back to stock and that would be enough. Unless they are real dick heads there they shouldn't care about the mid pipe and a cold air intake. What kind of work is getting done? The thing is though that you might trip a light when you take the tune off cause you have an o/r mid pipe. hhmmmmm

What service are you having done? And as an '06, what's left on the warranty that you're all that worried about? I've taken my Stang to the dealer for some routine and warranty work and they never said beans about it.

mostly depends on the dealership. some are mod friendly like in my town. if you flash it back to stock you will HAVE to put the stock intake back on

You're Dooooomed!!

They're going to VOID your warranty and take off all your aftermarket parts. Then give you your car back bone stock...

It really does depend on the dealer but I needed warrenty service and I took off the cai and put back the stock tune. When I got it back I made sure they did not change the stratagy before I put it all back. It only took 30 minutes. No chances with the warrenty until its up in 3 months!
