Default Fsport Install

When a dealer installs the Fsport exhaust or intake, do they re-program the ECU in any way after the install? If not, I rather just do the install myself...

they don't do anything besides taking out the stock intake and putting in the f-sport intake.

save the money and go DIY.

its real easy to do. theres even step by step instructions on here somewhere that i used. i think it took me a total of like 15 mins, and i went slow.

someone mentioned that it may not keep the intake in warranty if you do it yourself, but i'm not sure about that.

Sewell has the instructions on their site. Are both the 1/4" drive, and 3/8" drive sockets needed, or can it be done with 1 drive size? tx

It's a box and a tube, what exactly could possibly go wrong with it to require any warranty work?

Just make sure you put the rubber sleeves on the right way. The instructions are not clear about that.
