If I go in for the about 18k mile service (oil change i believe) do you think I should remove the test pipe before getting that done?

how is your dealer?

I personally wouldn't remove it, unless you know the ms3 end from end no mechanic would be able to tell. Unless it is like polished chrome or something!

Why go to the dealer for an oil change?

Isn't it technically a federal offense to remove any emissions related objects??

Ha, listen to me talk, I'm running completely catless!!

Theyre just going to do an oil change and tire rotation. In the past they said they won't void a warranty unless it caused something. Plus can they tell it doesn't have a cat?

The reason I take it there is that they have certain incentives if you get all your required maintenance done there.
