CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I didn't know that they were giving out 7 year powertrain warranties...

Does that mean that it's going to be seven years until you install your first fueling box?

Fueling box, programmer, timing box, all do more-or-less the same thing... Well, they all give more power, they just do so in different ways. "Programmer" is the catch-all term for anything that adds power by adjusting fueling parameters, timing parameters, pressure parameters, etc.

At least, I think that's how it works... I still think that silicone should be left to **THINGS THAT AREN'T AUTOMOTIVE IN NATURE**...

Some dealers pretend that aftermarket exhaust voids warranty; in all honesty it shouldn't, but some will try to use it as an excuse. And quite often they can legally do so, but some states put the burden of proof on the dealer. So the ramifications of an aftermarket exhaust depends a lot on your state's warranty laws and the dealer's attitudes. Same thing with gauges and, strangely enough, EDM injectors coupled with twin turbos, stacked boxes and full billet transmissions.

But then again, last time I ever bought anything with a warranty was never, so I may be totally wrong.
