he's talking about, it depends on which tuner/programmer/handheld you use to tune/flash your car...
heh...
using theirs, the dealer can't tell...

I think in every forum, that statute gets brought up. the dealers can easily say that by removing the catalytic converter, engine horsepower increased thus breaking the said divetrain part, or removing the catalytics caused emission codes to cause a glitch in the transmission electronics thus breaking the transmission. can the dealers prove it, probably not, but i guarantee you they will fight it and will prbably take months and some legal costs before a decission is made in your favor or theirs. in the mean time, your car will sit with a broken transmission. Aren't these transmissions expensive as compared to other gm transmissions?
And yes i know i revived a dead post. lol. It did answer alot of my questions though... Mostly that everyone is just as confused as i am on whats covered and whats not.

Well let me clarify:
Don't be so sensitive. I'd rather have 64 quality, productive, helpful, non repetitive posts than 900 of what you have done.
OK so i bought my GXP about 2 weeks ago. Love it.
When i bought it only one of the key fobs was working so i thought i'd go to the dealer and have 'em program my other one....No problem.
I wanna start modding this thing so i asked him what were the exhaust limitations on voiding the warranty and he said...
"You can do anything after the cat. Before the cat you can't touch"
Soooo obviously i plan on putting a Hogan down pipe on my car. And i probably plan on getting rid of the cat as well.
Am i SOL with my warranty?
or more so lets say i had a tranny problem...does that mean they won't touch my trans because i have a down pipe and no cat?
Any help or personal experiences would be great... thanks guys

Right, and that's coming from what 1 person posted on the internet. I see where your coming from, I shouldn't question anything and take it at face value. Just a FYI, another thread stated that ANY modification would void the warranty, but please feel free to believe the 1st thing you read on a free internet forum...
BTW, go read my 900 posts and let me know if I have been helpful or not. If nothing else it will keep you busy for a while

should be able to do anything and the warranty for that might be voided, but they can say like the more hp/torque caused whatever to break.
like if youre tranny breaks and you have a turbo kit installed for example.
