compression test requirements

I am just wondering, If I have a BHR ignition kit and a ram air intake, if I went to the dealer to get a compression test and the car failed, and I am still under warrenty, would they fuss about having aftermarket parts on it?

most likely yes.

some won't even allow you to have a sticker on the car. so the best thing u can do is remove them before you even try to get it under warranty.

In order to deny your warranty they have to prove that the aftermarket part was the cause of the problem. You might have to fight with them to get it done that way. If you want to be safe and hassle free then at the very least remove the bhr ignition, its easy to remove both of those things though at least.
