No issues whatsoever since V.2 update. Just for kicks I'll put the plug in (for the last time) as my 3 year maintenance warranty ends next month.

Just a quick update. I put the bypass plug in and drove to the store. What a difference. Give me back the tune!!! Oil and brake fluid change tomorrow and I am back to full throttle. Thanks for the feedback.

I purchased Dinan Mid Pipes from eBay, they came with the wrong clamps. I called up Dinan and they 1 day shipped me the correct clamps. Great customer service from my experience.

Then the second time after the foreign corp said "no mo Dinan" (Throttlesteer14 loved that topic) I didn't even ask and bypassed the unit. My question is, do I give a blank about the Dealership, or continue using the bypass. If I use the bypass then will their "xteen" point engine check verify that the stock thresholds are without errors. Your thoughts gentlemen, including yours rebel-rouser BimBimM2.

Bypassing it is completely unnecessary. Unless you want your car to be slower when you bring it into the dealer. haha The tuner doesnt change any software in the car so a scan wont detect it but when they pop the hood they will still see the wiring.

You’re complimenting them for supplying the wrong parts and then sending you the parts you were supposed to actually get in the first place?
