3.15 has been an option for quite some time. A $395 option with an automatic in 2005.

How about K&N filters.....sorry for my lack of knowledge on this.

What do you guys think the chance of GM voiding the warranty would be?

Actually for $1200 installed - (the price of a CAT Bach and Half that of Headers) go Nitrous. 125-150 RHWP

and for $150 extra you can add a purge kit which is really cool. Go to the ZEX site - there is a video. It's not working as of 1:30 today but try later

Yep, sure does. Even if it's tuned back to stock the dealer can still tell if they look hard enough. So if they decide that what ever failed had ANYTHING to do with your tune no matter how remote, they can still deny warranty. Not sure about the predator though. I know you can take it back to stock with the predator but I'm not sure if the dealer can tell or not. I know it doesn't change as many parameters as LSEDIT and such. Somebody chime in.......

Default Fuse 10

I think if you pull fuse ten it makes the A6 have six gears in reverse.
