well if you plan on buying a twinscrew kit or turbo kit the stage 2 is a waste but if not getting any kits then get stage 2 kit great upgrade

its not "difficult", but if you do it at home you have to get your ECU flashed somehow, plus you wont have your warrenty if you install it at home..

How'd you loose the warranty from that???

You are still fine... you only lost the warranty on the parts directly related to the exhaust if you ever have a problem!

Stage 2 is going to be more beneficial to you than doing an D/P and Header... you might start loosing power because of the increased piping diameter without the mods to make it worth while!

That is the new laws governing aftermarket parts and automotive warranties.

If you put an intake on your car and you have problems with your brakes they cannot void your brakes... but if your MAF sensor becomes clogged or damaged and they can prove it was from the intake than it's voided on the MAF but not the whole car!

but if your intake sucks up water and hydolocks the motor, it would void your warranty... Basically they have to prove that the aftermarket park caused the malfunction

If you plan to keep modding your can you might wanna hold off on the stage 2 though, Personally i thought it was a waste.

Also, it's cause i bought it from the factory. Every part of the stage 2 i'm going to be upgrading within the next two months (bigger fuel injectors, smaller pulley, pulley tensioner, and i have a custom tune)...That's just my 2 cents though...

WOW.... Waste of money not really! More power and GM guarantee's it like it was originally on the car, makes swapping pullies easier, oh yeah and keeps the GM Warranty!

cobra heat exchanger and meth injection. the raised rev limit that I have contributes to being faster than a stg2 car though. I think the stock rev limit is garbage and drops you out of the power band when you shift.
