Default VFAC Holdback - Warranty?

I would love to have the VFAC in my car. I love the way it looks. I probably wouldn't even change any settings. But... isn't it just another thing for a dealer to give us a hard time about. Even with a harness, how easy is it to remove so that there is no trace of it?

Just unclip 4 clips with the harness, and your done, no more V-AFC!

Beware, V-AFC set to zeros is not equivalent to no V-AFC at all.
Stock VTEC x-over point varies with all kinds of parameters, you're stuck with whatever value you pick if running a V-AFC and you're stuck with the ECU mismatch problem whenever the V-AFC has you on the high cam and the ECU doesn't.
Bottom Line, don't do it unless you want to use it for something. It

10-19 rwhp is not a couple of horses to me. Everyone knows that the V-AFC is one of the best bang for the buck mods for the car.

And if tuned, does not sacrifice drivebility in anyway!

LOL, don't get me wrong dude, I've had one installed for quite some time now, but you obviously don't see the big picture if you think drivability is unaffected.

BTW, lots of people can't tell the difference when ~100 HP is added let alone 10. "aaaah I think the SC'd car feel faster but I don't know"
Don't know how many times we've all heard that
