My New LTZ Needs More Attitude

[CrewSyn14]

Well I'm a newbie on here, but I've been building custom trucks for years. However this is my first brand new truck. I purchased a 2014 Silverado LTZ Crew Cab ,and now I'm itching to give it some attitude. I have listed the things I want to do first, what I need to know is pros/cons to these specific parts? Also how will these things will affect my warranty?

1. Volante Cold Air Intake

2. Flowmaster American Thunder Catback Exhaust

3. Handheld Tuner (Is this necessary for the other two mods?)

4. MTX Soundgate Upgrade

5. Aftermarket Wheels (can the factory tire pressure sensors be used on them?)

 

Any help or insight you guys can provide would be awesome.

Welcome to the site! I dont want to be the guy to welcome you and say Search right away but there is a ton of info out there on these trucks with pictures / etc.. Also while searching , look up on the magnuson moss warranty act.. This will help you to understand that changing your wheels for example is not going to void the warranty on your motor...

Be sure to check out this part of the forum which is ideal for your year.. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/forum/169-20142015-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra-1500/

Only thing I could think to void the warranty is the handheld tuner because when the dealer plugs into the obd2 they can see that your tuning has been messed with (even if you uninstall it). It's not necessary for the exhaust and intake. I'm sure for the sensors it's easier just to buy new sensors instead of having to unmount all the tires to remove them.

Incorrect...

 

You do NOT have to take the tires off the wheel.

They default the tire, push the side wall in

unscrew the sensor

inflate the tire.

 

Any tire shop will do it for free.

 

I have no idea why so many people think it is hard to move those.

I moved mine yesterday.

Thanks for the info guys. The info on the tire sensors was especially helpful cause didn't know the screw on, I thought they were stuck on maybe.
