n00b questions

I've got 2 questions for you guys...

If you bought the car new how long did you wait to start modding and what would the dealership consider a void warrenty?

I installed an HKS exhaust the other week and never reinstalled the turbo heat shield...I planned on wrapping the turbo and downpipe, is it really worth the time and effort?

Talking

when the warranty expired on mine, I started modding it. That was on 100,000 miles.

Warranty, schmarranty. If you want to make your car faster, do it. However, SOA is very sensitive to modifications (you already made it hard to get most engine problems fixed, should you have a a failure, which is unlikely). You just have to decide if you want the warranty coverage, or a faster car. You can't expect to get both.
