He's got a CEL with a flashing Cruise control light. Will putting a CEL Boss on the dp void warranty also??

generally mastro is pretty good with the aftermarket area. unless the dp is causing a problem or the reason for your service than you should be fine.
(ie. if your window stops working they can't void your warranty because of the dp.)
you should get the cel fix on though. for a few reasons.
the reason you have a cel and cruise flashing is because of the dp with no cel fix. if that's the reason you're taking it in, get the fix first and go have the code cleared and cancel your appointment.

yea but im talkin mastro- i wuz told as long as it doesnt bother ne thing else, warranty stays- but im pretty sure that excludes boosting up and turbo upgrades i just donno if one pipe matters.... its just that fact that it effs with the CEL that worries but im pretty sure other people who bought from mastro did the same

they shouldnt void the warranty. just tell them that you have a cel from the dp. be honest. they will clear the code for you once and then after that they will charge you. i never had any problems with them about the cats. i actually did a fix for the cel after it came back on again. i ordered a piece from rallysportdirect and it has worked ever since. this is what you want to get:
RallySportDirect.com

go here buy that. i would have to show you how to set the clearing up once it is on the car. its not hard.
