You are making it sound the way you want, and thats fine. I read what you posted and see nothing stating what you say to be fact, more like interpretation.
Either way, its up to the end user whether they decide to tune the car or not, and thankfully you are here looking out for them
If they want to tune it and keep the dealer out of their hair, we offer a great product for that.
Thanks

Good question. One I can't answer. All I now is, I like not having a CEL light or needing a tune. With l t headers, one would have to tune or live with a CEL.

'(3)(A) for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for any person knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser; or
'(B) for any person to manufacture or sell, or offer to sell, or install, any part or component intended for use with, or as part of, any motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine, where a principal effect of the part or component is to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under this title, and where the person knows or should know that such part or component is being offered for sale or installed for such use or put to such use; or '
(2) At the end of section 203(a) (42 U.S.C. 7522(a)) insert the following:
'No action with respect to any device or element of design referred to in paragraph (3) shall be treated as a prohibited act under that paragraph if (i) the action is for the purpose of repair or replacement of the device or element, or is a necessary and temporary procedure to repair or replace any other item and the device or element is replaced upon completion of the procedure, and (ii) such action thereafter results in the proper functioning of the device or element referred to in paragraph (3). No action with respect to any device or element of design referred to in paragraph (3) shall be treated as a prohibited act under that paragraph if the action is for the purpose of a conversion of a motor vehicle for use of a clean alternative fuel (as defined in this title) and if such vehicle complies with the applicable standard under section 202 when operating on such fuel, and if in the case of a clean alternative fuel vehicle (as defined by rule by the Administrator), the device or element is replaced upon completion of the conversion procedure and such action results in proper functioning of the device or element when the motor vehicle operates on conventional fuel.'."

I could personally careless and really don't have a dog in this fight since I've removed the secondary cats, and have tuned my car
Anyone wanting to keep the factory warranty intact is really rolling the dice with any aftermarket modification. Everyone has their opinions, and comfortable with which risks they're willing to accept.

Someone posted in another thread that the ECM tracks in-service dates, so if you remove and replace it GM can see that, too. Whether that is true or not I have no idea.

Very true. So true that one of our forum vendors is very unhappy with the way it has cut into sales of performance tunes.

Unlike the C6, GM now has other means of knowing that the ecm has been changed out. Mileage is just one of them. It holds the current milage in its system. If the unit is swapped out and then reinstalled, there will be a milage difference.
