I mean... you couldn't find the time or $500 to get a tune in 8 months?

Now, does that relate to a lifter tick, probably not. The plus though is since there is no tune (and is under a warranty) you can put the stock exhaust back on then take it to a different dealership. But with a full exhaust on the car, no dealership is going to deal with it. Yeah, you can fight it and you may luck out. But id guess more times than not, they will just tell you no.

Just up to you now if the cost to take the aftermarket exhaust off, get the oem stuff put back on, then take it to the dealership to get this looked at under warranty is worth it.
