did you put you car on the dyno? or did some donuts with your vdc off? or do you have any electronic mods? if not, take it to the dealer will be your best bet.

I've had that happen before during the winter when I turned my VDC off due to slipping the ice. All those lights turned on but eventually went away after a day or two. I'd take it to the dealership to be safe. Might just be an electrical glitch or you can try resetting your ECU. I hear that turns off (or resets) many of the warning lights.

AvosG37, this is off topic, but could you tell me how much it cost to put in the Stillen Gen 3 intake (parts and install)? I'm thinking about it but not sure how much I can spend. Thanks.

I wonder who you bought the intakes from

Either disconnect the battery or do the pedal method

dang you went through all that trouble to take it off? my dealership is cool with aftermarket mods, so i don't bother, it'd be too much trouble for me anyways

remember, they can't void your warranty unless they prove your mod created the problem and thus made the part fail...
