Maybe listing your mods might help. Worst comes to worst, come to Carlsen. They will fix it in 4-5 hours.

You should be okay at Carlsen, Santa Cruz, Santan Clara, Maita, or Jenson as long as:
-you don't have an aftermarket downpipe
-you don't have any kind of boost controller or boost mod
-you still have the stock turbo
-no ECU mods or reflash

Those mods are all warranty killers (the downpipe mostly becaue they can't remove and replace a non-factory catalytic converter). Too many mods overall gives them reason to deny you as well. But as long as you aren't making significantly more power than stock, you're probably ok.

The catback is never grounds for warranty denial (unless you are trying to get new exhaust hangers or gaskets ).

When I took my car in for an oil change at Livermore, I was warned that the master tech might void my warranty if he noticed I had an aftermarket catback....I told the service writer that I'd cut his jerrys off if the tech made a fuss, and fortunately for him there was no mention of my exhaust.

What's an oil change have to do with a warranty? What a bunch of idiots there.
