Only last ad came up all it says is cat back and air cleaner. I'm sure he just put 60lb injectors in it thinking that would make it faster bigger is not always better when it comes to fuel. Thanks.

Shouldn't the dealer be held accountable? Car worked, you took it to them, car stopped working?

They did what was asked of them, it's not their fault the owner failed to disclose (or in this case know) information on incompatible parts with the work asked of them. Especially not when those parts are hidden from view.

This is why I make an exhaustive list of all modifications done to my vehicles. This way when I sell one the future owner knows exactly what they're buying, I find it irresponsible as a car guy to do otherwise. Unfortunately not everyone behaves this way.

Seems to be a lesson learned to have parameters backed up before changing it. Not sure if dealer could do this. Hopefully the tuner can fix this and keep it street legal.

Yes I had them but dealer has no way to back up so the stock flash is in there and the tuner can go from there. Will know tomorrow.

OK tuned it. Looks like it has a small cam in it and map sensor. It gets 398.7 HP at rear wheels. All good. So I got some 60lb injectors to sell.
