Default Re: A Note on Belanger Headers & 2008 Vipers

As such, there is a very real possibility of Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination (check engine light) and resulting driveability issues that are NOT covered by the factory warranty.

Bottom line? The factory control module has not been calibrated for aftermarket headers, so any resulting check engine light issues are the owner's responsibility - not Chrysler's.

As someone who currently has the Belanger system installed, was it Chrysler who asked to pass this message along? Thanks.
