There are certain aftermarket updates I would love to make to my 06 Si.
I'd love to get a turbocharger, and perhaps a higher-flow exhaust.

But, I'll never do it. In the end, it just isn't worth it. You risk
****ing up your engine, voiding any warranty, and not having your $20,000+
toy available to you.

It's fine if you have the wads of cash lying around to allow you a couple
of cars to fool around with, and not impact your daily ride, but for most
of us it is just foolish.

My big question to the OP, why would you expect them to send you out a new
exhaust system before they have determined that something is actually
wrong with the one you have, or that the problem is covered under
warranty? And if it is a design flaw, how would them sending you out a
replacement help?

If you are making changes like this to your only vehicle, you should have
kept the stock parts around. To make a major change like this, and not
have a spare (not knowing what the new system will do, long term) is just
plain silly.
