They said that the OEM sells upgraded exhaust etc so pushing more HP via other mods wouldn't void the warranty.

Bottom line is that JRE warns on their paperwork that w/o tune the original owner risked the CEL. Dealer said of course that tune wasn't required - but if I had it done after purchase it should still be ok warranty wise later on.

I sat on it this past week. Stopped by today and was told it sold last night via the internet. That's ok. I just can't stomach paying almost 36K for a 'certified' car that would be a struggle to get coverage on the drivetrain should something happen.

Also - they stated that they can look in the computer and see if it was a missed shift or even if it had a tune that was subsequently brought back to stock. How much non-volatile memory do these things have now related to that statement?
This is the one at Terryville Chevrolet right? I'm the guy from the Internet. I was going to install the Borla anyway so that didn't bother me. Might have gone with different brand of headers though. You've seen and driven the car- how much were you willing to pay?
