Did you find out before or after taking it back to the dealership? Hopefully you're the only person who had to know!

Have fun at the track, hopefully you have an oil cooler installed before heading out there.

I won a day at the track thru a raffle and once my oil cooler is installed I will be heading out.

Its drag racing not autox so i should be fine, not sure if im going anymore...its raining right now...track opens at 6:00pm tonight for street legals but weather is calling for the showers to stop at 4:00pm with 19*C temps so it might dry up in time....iiunno.

Yeah, when I did mine - I probably OVER tightened my clamps. I don't want no dirty air getting in my engine!

is it possible to over tighten the bolts/screws so tight that it will damage/bend the pipes?
