if it's shaking it may be cold. Get it a blanket and a warm cup of coco.

I had to hookup the attachments at the bottom of the steering wheel to get it to change the base map. I am wondering if you did that before trying. I forgot the first time.

I was thinking I could install the stock exhaust and reset the ecu so the dealer wouldnt know but when i tried to reset the ecu with my accessport it tells me "error communicating with ecu" ... so im screwed =/

Im going to run a compression test today and then possibly replace spark plugs... anyone have any advice to give to me ???? it would be greatly apperciated
Uhhh... your warranty is voided... you gotta pay to play. However, you may not have a serious problem. If you can reset the ECU, the code should clear, and if it was just a hiccup, it won't come back.

Lucky you. Personally, I don't think your mods caused the coil issue, so I'm not gonna scream at you for defrauding SOA. Glad to hear the issue is resolved.
