I know their was a Guy with a Different intake that was rubbing an ac line and I know my dealer shaved some Bolt last time I took it in because it was rubbing the Intercooler Piping...That was some TSB or something...MY dealer can do that but they are not smart enough to figure out why my turbo doesn't boost..so they tell me thats normal!...

i installed the hahn intercooler pipeing and it was knocking on that line, could hear it at idle, so anoying, so here is what i did, i cut off a piece of silicon cupler i had lieing around and i wrapped it around the metal line (looks like ac line) between the line and where the intercooler piping was rubbing, i zip tied it on and siliconed either end so it doesnt slip down. works great, doesnt look bad, works great. sound is gone

its on the cold side of the charge piping, and the line rubbing it is rubber. so its rubber on rubber... i would love to do charge piping and an intake, but i gotta keep that warranty.

bolt ons are fine man. i plan to be fully bolted with the LNF upgrade flash and without that learn down bullshit. ill still have full warrenty and make good power.

bolt onts wont **** with your warrenty, but if they specifically casue a problem then dealer wont pay for it. but generally bolt ons dont casue serious problems. You get an agressive tune and **** your engine up then you got no warrenty
