Default Servicing catless car

I'd like to get PDK clutch oil and gearbox oil changed on my 981CS, which I understand is a dealer thing (or good indy, which I don't think is near me). Has anyone gotten grief from a dealer for running catless headers and an ECU tune? Car is out of warranty anyway, and no emissions checks here.

Can't imagine the dealership would care since it is out of warranty. I wouldn't think twice about taking it in for that service.

Nope. Heck, dealer said I should have used them for the header install.

Thanks guys. With how strict muffler shops are about cat-stuff I wasn't sure. I even got grief for having a shop cut a resonator from my B8.5 S4, which of course does not affect emissions at all.

I live in AZ so things are less strict here -- but my dealer had no issues and was willing to even tune it (back when I had my TTS).

Same, my dealer had no problem performing warranty or regular maintenance with headers and tune installed. They are happy to have warranty or customer pay labor, however that. An get it.
