so you guys are saying that even if you have a screamer pipe, you should tell vigil, and they will cover it?

assesor came and checked it out. was looking at it for near an hour. had evidence of my CAI but he didnt seem to mind... and it was exceedingly close to the limits with how low it was...

i just wonder what the assessor would say in that situation if he was to find an aftermarket ecu, huge turbo, custom plenum, etc, etc, etc?

So noone has tried to make a claim with a different turbo, custom plenum etc??
