Nice. Thanks.
It appears you're in Australia. In the U.S. you're fine in most cases with respect to warranty. YMMV.
yeah. Maybe that’s the difference. Most people I talk to here seem to think the dealerships will look for any excuse to void a warranty here. I’m still a bit torn. Want to get an intake but don’t want to stress should I have a warranty issue down the track.

I don't think an intake is going to cause any issues, but they're really easy to install, so if you're worried, you could always reinstall the factory intake prior to a dealership visit.

Awesome. I was thinking that. I might do it. I read the PRL is one of the hardest to install. Any views on what might be an easier install would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I wouldn't trip about a intake. Went in for a oil change and forgot to unplug my flashpro. Had laptop on passenger seat. Only thing the service writer said was that he loved the way the car sat on regamasters lol

I'm over here trying to convince myself that the Eventuri or Infinity Design can't possibly be worth an extra ~$1k over the PRL... but still thinking about getting one of those anyway.

I ordered the Gruppe M in April, received it last month and even though it was beautiful, ended up selling it for $100 loss. I've got a PRL coming this week. Trying to make the engine bay pretty is just opening an expensive can of worms that I can't justify right now. Now I'm hoping the PRL is significantly "Whooshier" than my sprint drop in.

The PRL makes great noise. I think you'll like it!

Just burned 1/4 tank driving around trying to make the loudest whooshing, pops, and bangs as I could. Only regret is not doing it sooner.
