O Trader Member 90 Member For: 17y 11m 5d Posted 10/08/10 04:23 AM Posted 10/08/10 04:23 AM If you were to fit an XR8 airbox, snorkle & K&N / BMC air filter to a standard FGT, will this require a custom tune or can it safely be run on the factory tune . . ?

Will it void warranty on anything then, since nothing has been tuned?

(Prolly best to change it back to stock when going for a service, just in case they try to use it against you but) Cooler will require a tune.Plenum will require a tune.ANY exhaust mods will require a tune.

O Trader Member 90 Member For: 17y 11m 5d Posted 15/08/10 02:53 PM Author Posted 15/08/10 02:53 PM Ok now we have drifted on to warranty ..... I have a new 50th coming at the end of the month with a 5 yr / 200 000km warranty. If I fit a genuine XR8 lower airbox and snorkle will my warranty be void . . . ?
