This seems like total bullshit shouldn't GM stand behind their parts and installation? If this is the case I mine as well install it myself. Any info on this would be appreciated as I still want a stage kit but would rather have my warranty.

Neither stage kit will void your warranty, there is a Case # on this, so if any dealership questions the warranty there is proof from GM that the warranty is good. Now, this does not give you the right to beat the hell out of it and expect them to fix it. It is simply stating your warranty is as it is now.

My stage 2 just came in today, i don't know when its gonna get installed though. Definitely going to go in before the end of the week, but i'm out of town so i can't even drive it til the weekend after next. I just have to wait and hear what my dad thinks about it.

I just ordered Stage 1 as well, from crateenginedepot.com It was either Stage 2 and no exhaust or Stage 1 and buy exhaust in begining of summer. Even if you get Stage 2 for $650 it will likely run you near $800 total due to install costs. But if you got the flow, its the way to go 
I just wanted some more rip outta the exhaust.
