Hello fellers!
I recently picked up a used '14 GT with 10k miles. The previous owner put on a Borla Cat-Back system, Boss IM, JLT CAI, and has a Bama tune on the car. The rear end is the 3.73 LS. 6sp Manual.
With only 10k on the clock, it still has about 6 months bumper to bumper warranty and several years/thousands of miles left before the power-train warranty runs out. Seeing as it is such low miles and in what appears to be awesome shape, I'd like to preserve the warranty for as long as possible. Along those lines, I'm thinking of reverting the tune back to stock.
I realize that a dealer would be able to see that something had been flashed on the ECU, but I'm hoping that by the time something were to go wrong with the drivetrain, it would be a year or two or several thousand miles. Hopefully, I would then be able to plead with Ford I had done everything in my power to make the car run as stock if they raised a stink about the ECU being messed with.
So my question is: would a stock air filter box be a direct bolt on to the Boss IM?
With the JLT, as I understand it, I would throw engine codes without the tune. So, to prevent that I would rather just throw a stock air box on and call it a day for the next few years and enjoy the car as is.
Also, in your guys' experience, would the presence of the Boss IM and Borla exhaust cause much consternation at the dealership if the tune was absent? i.e., would they limit the drivetrain warranty to 3/30 due to the presence of the Boss IM?
