This is not correct. In the event of a warranty claim refusal they would have to prove that the cat removal was the cause of that particular failure by law under the Magnuson-Moss Act.
The Federal offense is a separate issue.

Also incorrect. Innotech bypass pipes for example, do not require a tune to prevent the SES light for catalyst inefficiency.
The Akropovic delete-r also prevents the SES light without a "tune".
