Hmm maybe if they pay as well to swap over all your performance parts? You have quite a bit invested into yours...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

FWIW, I went from beating any "EPA" fuel economy rating in the '80's-'00's to being lucky to be able to achieve the rated fuel economy.  I think all manufacture's have been basically stretching the truth since 2010 or so.  As a family, we've owned a bunch of stuff so I truly think it's all brands.

Swapped out my winter wheels today and noticed something peculiar. Is it just me, or is one pipe lower than it should be?

I don't remember there being that much "flex" in the flex pipe to the front cat...

It could be the Rubber Insulator which holds the Flex pipe in place! Z

I'm hoping this is just another dealer screw up from when they pulled my engine for the timing chain replacement. I'll try to loosen everything up and re-clock the pipe to see if I can get it straight before buying additional parts.

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Luckily, I was able to just loosen the flange bolts at the cat, lift the pipe into place, and retighten the flange. Seems to be correct now. Glad I caught it before ripping. It off on a curb. :) #attentiontodetail

It sounds like the Bolts were recently removed by the dealer! Mine were a Pita to remove! Glad you caught it in time. Z   :)
