It's weird, my fuel economy is still good, and the RPMs at the usual speeds are still the same (1500 RPM @ 55 mph, I think this is the max fuel economy you can achieve on the V6). It just feels sluggish now, but even then, it's probably still faster than an I4 Camry. And of course, I can't get the engine to open up anymore.

I'm not too worried, I may be slow now but still just as good looking LOL. I also have 7 years and 75,000 miles to go before the Platinum Warranty expires.

opening up the airbox or taking apart some hoses will not void your warrenty. its taking the engine apart and boring it out or something like that, that will. its actually not very easy to void your warrenty without doing a major mod on the car. go to the dealership though but be careful of what they do....

Bring it back to dealer to check it out. It is still under warranty.
