Servicing with catless downpipes

What do you guys think about servicing a car with the hatless downpipes installed. Is it really worth the hassle removing it and what warranties would it void if kept inside?

I've serviced my F30 with a catless downpipe before. As long as your SA is fine with it and it's not causing an issue with a car-related claim, then you should be all set. Again, double check with your SA before bringing your car in.

Worst case scenario, the SA flags your car for the catless downpipe, your drivetrain warranty would be voided.

Hope this helps.

Pretty sure it's a federal offense.

Just be aware of the consequences should someone raise the flag that high.

Check with your SA, in most cases they dont care as long as the cause of the dealership visit has nothing to do with downpipes
