Learned something new today
I went with my bud who just bought a SGS to his local dealer. He asked about them installing his stage 1 with a SEPST. The service manager told him they would install everything including the SEPST,but because of the tuner the MoCo would not cover the drivetrain under warranty. Supposedly it's a change for 2014 under the MoCo,and the only tuning device that will allow to keep your warranty intact is simple download only or the SE street tuner (EPA friendly). And yes that includes aftermarket devices too,what a shock.
I heard this and to be honest I wanted so bad to call him out on it,but decided to keep my mouth shut and let my friend decide on his own. I know the SEPST is labeled race only,but I've had a couple installed and every dealer told me they will stand behind it 100% under warranty. So my friend is seriously thinking about just getting a dealer flash for his header,mufflers and AC. He asked my opinion and I told him that I've never heard of that issue with the SEPST and warranty denial. I told him he should do his homework,cause it sounds like a load of bullsheet.

I had a car dealer tell me a few years ago that I had to sign a document acknowledging that any modifications to my vehicle would most likely void my warranty. It was simple to me. The dealer had a choice. Take that piece of paper and throw it away or I walk. It went right in the trash can.

In the Screamin' Eagle Pro Racing Parts catalog it does state that the SEPST does not retain full engine warranty and the SESPT does. If one were to buy the SEPST it would be a good idea to get it in writing from the dealer that use of it will nor invalidate the warranty, if they are willing to do this.
