Although I wasn't completely innocent this thread is quite an instructional one IMO

Hahaha it sure was, I certainly learnt a fair bit, even took away some tips on modding my car lol!
Good to see the mods taking control and not letting threads get out of hand

BTW thanks for your input Turtle I greatly appreciate it, I think I will go with the vcm otr as people from around my area don't seem to have any issues with the fuzz with them... plus they look cool!

Glad you enjoyed it, you missed the *spanking* which was really the highlight for me, thank you.

BTW it's not the fuzz, insurance, or ADR / Motor Registry that is the issue with an OTR, it's when and if you need to make a Holden drivetrain claim. Basically you need to whip it off and act like it didn't exist. Same with tune and exhaust.

To Holden's assessing engineer a mention in report of these things are like a Get out of Jail Free card in circumstances where raised power caused by modification (legal or otherwise) is deemed cause of fault.

The Orrsom is not an exposed pod type filter, and does not cause concern with the fuzz.

Without causing any more issues.. if holden have a go at you about an exhaust laugh and go to consumer affairs. It's that simple. I had a maf replaced under warranty with my otr fitted. Kept throwing engine lights turns out the little wire thing was buggered. Didn't say a single thing about my otr because it didn't cause the fault. If an exhaust or otr damages your drIveline well... I dunno how on earth it would. It's a bloody air intake for god sakes.

I was under the impression that any intake mod would void warranty as it introduces an increase of airflow to the engine which requires the ecu to get adjusted to compensate for the additional air, therefore altering the car from stock. Is this not the case?

Don't listen to that baloney. If you think you can make a claim in NSW through the CTTT about breach of warranty contract, read the thing first, save your $130. You are not going to get a judgement and order from a court having a technical whinge about bigger is better against Holden.
Specifically the catback is ok, replacing the engine manifold and / or cat for an aftermarket race system isn't.

Yes. Like I said above.

Nothing to stop you changing back to original before claim, or managing the claim through your tuner.

Except the hassle and $$

Omg... bugger This lost cause! I give up!
