If your EGT did fail and it reads a constant level from a resistor mod, they would be able to see that, but then you have to deal with why you have removed a cat and put in an after market up-pipe
thats more then just a simple reflash, you have modded more then what kenny was asking about

I am not advocating hiding something that is your fault.. if you crank up the boost and blow it well damn its your fault... but here goes i had two 98 acura integras one was a LS the wifes and mine was a type r (#554) the guys tried to totally void my ex's warranty for having a cat-back exhaust... what did it go in for you might ask ...well it went in for, get this a oil change ( she had a free oil change coupon.) well when the service manager did his little number it was flagged ... after threats of getting a lawyer they finally removed the flag from the computer... which is tied together by acura customer care nationwide .
AND yes everyone can quote the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

but when the rubber hits the road find out how long this fight takes.

Another vote for EcuTek. If you want to stay totally stealth with your mods, get a reflash, catback, black IC hoses, and uppipe. Your Baja will probably put 210-220 to the wheels with those mods, get equal or better fuel milage, and not get you any hassles if you need warranty work done.
Utecs are for tuning experts. If you can't tell me how the advance multiplier works, or how the knock threshold works, or what gamma on time is, you're wasting the extra $350 for the Utec.
Cobb has a great reputation for manufactured parts, but so far their off the shelf AccessPort maps are VERY conservative, even compared to other tuners off the shelf maps. They work, but you won't be as fast and there's currently no provision for further dyno tuning, unless you drive to SLC. Also, there are numerous horror stories that people have had issues with it both when installed properly, and when they were removed.
