Ok Ok 
thanks for all your help. I was hoping for another way, but you guys are right. I guess I'll be doing nothing but working on my car for the next couple days...Do I have to take everything off? Like turbo timer, gauge, springs...etc??I like putting parts on.. not taking off. Can't afford 3300 tho

take off anything power train related, such as UICP/LICP, exhaust, dp, injectors if any, etc.

Honestly, the exhaust was the first mod on my car and I was pretty new at all this. It was my mistake that as I learned more, I didn't catch this sooner. I wish I had cuz this is a nightmare. By the time I figured out what was wrong it was too late to heat wrap or do anything... really my mistake. However the guy that says he can fix my t case also says he can modify (cut, bend, weld) my dp so that it doesn't sit like that. I'm not sure what to do....

Personally, I think the downpipes are overrated for mild setups.
Buschur recently posted a thread about the quality of the stock downpipe and how it is probably unnecessary to upgrade until you get into the 350+whp range.

I run a stock downpipe and I have 345wtq, 338whp on the HB speed dyno with exhaust, drop in filter, UICP, and tune. It's very comparable to what other guys are getting with similar mods AND downpipe.

I think there are alot of misconceptions when it comes to warranty.False information spread on chat forums etc. With that said, it really boils down to the dealer, and the service manager's discretion. For example my buddy tracks his GTR alot and the service manager that works at the dealer knows this. Yet he was still covered when he brought his GTR are in for some warranty work. Work that was done with the suspension +alignment..
The smoking gun example is my EVOX. Mitsubishi is suppose to have some really strict warranties. Well thats what alot of people say here.. Yet when I blew out my clutch slave cylinder piston, because of my aftermarket clutch. The dealer replaced my slave cylinder and put a new stock clutch all covered under warranty. This is also them knowing I track my car, and that its been flashed and tuned at Works..
