Correct and the business men who buy M6's usually don't mod them. I still have not seen one by me let alone one like mine.

What's the drawbacks of having a piggyback system? I've been considering Burger Motorsport's option but I'm concerned about what the dealer may have to say about it when I take it in for service next time. Haven't been able to get a straight answer yet. Maybe you can give me so e insight.

Way to go! But it's harder to install on S63tu engines, my dealership was ok with keeping my warranty.

From my understanding the air boxes need to be removed for installation. So my guess is that the removal process is the same but in reverse. So it may be a true pain in the neck if you have to remove the air boxes before and after each service. What are some of the faults that may show up from having this mod, by the way?

It doesn't void your warranty, but LSM, make sure you install them on Tmap sensors, do not install them on MAF sensors as it may blow them up and cost you $1500 to fix; if you do it right, you won't have any problems (maybe a few speeding tickets)

Just asked my dealer if they would do the install for me. Waiting on their response before I place my order. If they don't I may just do it myself or find another shop though.

Not the same shop I service it in. I dropped it at a different shop yesterday for a window tint, and to install all the carbon fiber parts I bought from IND. Figured I'd ask them if they would install it, if they say no I'll just drop it in myself. If I do it myself I'll even look for a way to conceal it in such a way that the service center would not spot it by simply peeking at the engine bay as Burger Motorsports already claims it's undetectable via computer diagnostics anyways.

Very simple install. Both intake air boxes are removed in 5 min.
You need to make a file change to the software once it is installed.
Again, very easy. You need the program harness which is inexpensive to purchase from Burger Motorsport.
In 20 min you can install the harness and change the file and will turn your car into a pure BEAST !!!

If someone mistakes the mass air flow sensor for what is being installed, they probably shouldn't be working on your car
