Default warranty question

I would like to have my 2004 A4 dyno tuned and adjust the shift points as I have the 2.73's. However I don't want to void the warranty. Mod's are halltech trap & GHL cat back.

I wouldn't think that you would get much benefit out of a dyno tune with the mods you've got listed. It would probably be a better use of your mod money to add some other mods 1st.

as for the warranty, the law says that GM has to prove the mods caused the problems, so if you've got a good dealer you're okay, but many dealers will try to blame any problem on anything to avoid work.

The mods you have should not affect your warranty (I basically have similar mods and have never had a problem). Would not think a tune would void it either, but if you are on good terms with your dealer, you may want to see how they react before you do it.
