Default In trouble with the dealership?

If I install this test pipe (CLICK LINK HERE) is the noise going to be quite noticeable to my dealer when I take it in for regular service?
Give me scale from 1-10 with 1 being stock exhaust note and 10 being a Quad-Borla exhaust system.

Thanks!

As soon as he looks under the car he will see the difference. Will not affect your warranty on other parts of the car.

Right, I know it's clearly visible if they raise the car.
What I'm curious about is the sound. How much more noticeable is the SOUND than the stock model?

I would say noise wise it is a 1. However, as soon as they VAG the car, they will get codes that the catalytic converter is not working. One look and they would notice that it is not in the car. They could then make an argument to void your engine and emissions warranty.
