I hear ya. I've read all about warranty issues. Its the old pay to play motto at the end of the day. If I ever go to the delear I'll uninstall cobb and I do have the BT Tool which I've heard can delete some codes that Cobb sometimes misses. But it sounds like even if I do that, if they really want to dig they'll probably still find something.

I would like an intercooler almost more for lowering engine stress than the added performance as I plan to keep my car for a while. I may reconsider.
