Thanks for the response and advice. I think I'll do it myself. I live in North Pole Alaska, so I've got a lot of garage time to get things done until break-up.

Out here in cali they are not allowed to put on anything that has to do with your ecu. I ended up putting on my pipes myself and the sceaming eagle air cleaner and had the factory download the new map for it. Saved some money it is pretty simple. sportncruise is right remove the guards on the stock pipes for easier access to the rear header bolts. I had to buy a new o2 sensor because they must have not put antisieze on one of them and thet sucker would not come off for the life of me! the sensor is 40 bux!

The warranty CANNOT BE AFFECTED unless the manucacturer can prove that the installed part led to failure! There are numerous posts on this subject,
Don't let the dealer bullshit you.
True, but if you install the pipes, AC, and tuner yourself THOSE ITEMS WILL NOT BE WARRANTIED under factory or extended warranty. Nothing wrong with DIY, but its not a bad idea to at least have the dealer do stage 1 before delivery!
