I love this state.

It violates federal law to move or replace the cats on a car until 50k miles IIRC.

They have CNC ported heads, hot cams..... if a dealer put the GMPP racing heads, cam.... on your 2010 Camaro - you would have zero warranty.

The only GMPP parts that would not affect your new car warranty, are the GMPP "accessories" for the 2010 Camaro. Which I believe is only 1 item at this time - the GMPP mufflers.

I really appreciate the info. Just was wondering, but even if the install the " Off Road, Race only they would have to tune it to make it run right, correct?

Not really trying to stir the pot just looking for knowledge.

Are they a long tube? Maybe a tune from GM is coming.

They seem to be long tube from the picture, but you know how pictures are. Funny thing about all this talk about mods, warranty, tunes, etc.... We use to do this stuff all the time just in a different way, changed needles, adjusted carbs, adjusted timing, all manually. True it wasn't on brand new cars, but we didn't have alot of problems back then., LOL

I'm pretty sure it's covered under warranty as long as you have a GM dealership install them and you have documented proof that the dealer installed it.

Do they have GMPP shorties for our cars yet ?

The GMPP mufflers - yes.

The kooks headers - no. If you bought Kooks headers, your header warranty would be with Kooks.
