but as also mentioned, if it involves removal of a catalytic converter, then could be a separate issue.
X pipe install?

I'd say it depends. If you are talking about a cat-less x-pipe then you are removing an emission control device, this will not make GM or your state gov very happy (if they care). However if the x-pipe is 50-state legal then no: http://undercar.magnaflow.com/suppor...tory-warranty/

depends on the claim , if the rear blows ... no if the transmission has issues ... no , if the torque tube grenades... no , if the engine drops a valve... if the engine throws a rod, if the engine locks up because of bad thrust bearing no. If there are problems with bolt on items like alternator, water pump , belt tensioner no Of course this all depends on the attitude of the dealer but if you have any of the above type failures it would be hard to prove that your removal of the pup cats had anything to do with the failure
I think you know that I was one of the unlucky people who dropped a valve and had a brand new complete motor installed under warranty .... I had a catless X PIPE on the car which I am 100% sure the dealer knew about .....

Borla is not making the pipe anymore so don't get tricked into buying the 60548 as that is not the pipe you want, you would want to locate a 60547 , but there are storefronts advertising the 48 as the 47 ..beware
