Lol of course his car can't run right at all with the stock tune with the mods he has. Plus if you take the tune off then you will have a check engine light

Another time, I had to take it in because the USB port stopped working in the console. No issue whatsoever pertaining to the tune. They changed it out and it was covered under warranty. |

Dealers do not care, at least the ones I have dealt with. Had visible mods and a tune on my vehicles with no issues, they are just like everybody else they want your business and to go home at night so they can nuke their supper.

I'd take the extra precaution and remove it. Its like what? 2mins!! Put back your tune after. Wont hurt your car to drive it untuned with just headers, even for a long time. I dont trust dealers and they dont trust you LOL
Its been floating that Diablosport and some other handheld programmer cant be detected if stock tune is back.

Since your warranty is out, it would depend on what level or repair. A complete engine rebuild, have someplace that specializes in that stuff build you one. Something like a radiator replaced, have the dealer do it unless you can save money by buying it yourself and paying someone else to put it in (radiators are really easy to take in and out of these cars. That was just an example.)

Dude the whole reason to return a engine to stock tune is for warranty work on the engine or drivetrain that may have been related nothing too the car being modified but try telling them that with headers....................................... They will see the headers obviously and hey you know they will assume things and yes they if sticklers will not honor a powertrain warranty as most dealers crews hate warranty work... at least it seems that way. SO yes your exhaust is noticeable louder the headers are a easy to spot item and well ...... As the old saying goes you have to pay to play.
You would under bad circumstances such as a blown engine have to try to return the engine to stock which some have done and though they can see a flashing has occurred if they look for it in the cars ECU or tell a car is modded because it has not been demodded...and use that to deny warranty coverage.. I have heard of people demodding and trying to get the dealer to cover it, I do not know how many have been successful though...LOL its a dream..... like dealers not looking at exhaust headers as a way to deny warranty work.... a few rare ones do of course mod and sell the cars themselves, famous names of dealerships such as Yenko etc..... Places are not going to plug in a scanner to your obd2 port to look at the tune for tires, though if I had to demodify the car I would not want to try that dealership..... As many on here have had trouble trying to get dealerships to even honor any warranty work, why on this current page is guy getting hassled because he replaced his fuel door and has a CEL at the same time related to a trans problem most likely on a 15 SS.......

Not sure how rear O2 Sensor delete has anything to do with problems in the differential. Shouldn't be a problem.
