Will apple exchange 6.15.00 3gs under warranty?

Don't worry they are looking for this BB on every 3g or 3gs that they are being returned.
Imagine all the money Apple has saved voiding warranty from people like you.
I bet they are checking this even before water markers.
I say you have 5% chance to get it replaced if, and only if, you bring it not activated ( this way they wont be able to go to settings unless they plug it into their cpu).

Did you not read the warnings of updating your baseband
"1. There is no way to come back down from 06.15, and there’s no hiding the baseband version from Apple. You’ll be voiding your warranty in a very obvious way.
2. If some future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you won’t be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldn’t update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway).
3. Starting with FW 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you won’t ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail). You’ll need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if you’re unlocker you should already be doing that).
Certainly don’t update to 06.15 if you don’t need to! Only do this if you need the unlock and you’re stuck on 05.14 or 05.15, and you’re willing to assume the above risks."
OP you can try it and it might work. But I sincerely doubt they are "checking" for it in the same way as CZK is claiming. CZK made it sound like they're conducting a manhunt for it.
Honesty goes a long way, tell them the story and they might change it out for you. Or try restoring your firmware. I think that would create a 1015 error and the phone would be forced into recovery. They might not be able to see the baseband, but if they plug it into BehaviourScan they will find it.
but you said it has the 6.15.00 baseband on it. Which means the warranty is now void. But if it's a hardware issue, you might be able to get a new one.

They dont care if its a hardware of software issue. By installing an ipad BB on an iphone you broke the warranty agreement and voided the warranty.
Officially and legally the answer is no. Now you can try returning it and you may be lucky.
Good job bringning no argument(s)

Because my post wasnt refuting anything said. Applejuiced only said dont listen to that guy without any argument.
Also, stated my argument 1 post later or so.
Officially, installing an ipad baseband on an iphone violates the warranty agreement. You can't argue this.
The few times I've needed an exchange the genius didn't even look at my hardware at all. One time the guy didn't open or touch the box I brought it in. I would say your chances are good and you wont have any issues at all. if you do have issues play dumb and say you bought it off craigslist that way and you had no idea their could be an issue. Im sure either way you will be fine.
Wouldn't this actually present as hardware failure? I assume the first thing they would try is to restore it (assuming they tried anything at all). Does attempting to restore a stock firmware over this cause an error? I don't actually know as I have never (thankfully) had to do this.
You seriously think THAT MANY people would have done the JB via iPad BB upgrade in the first place AND then had warranty issues? It would be a very small amount and Apple wouldn't be out on a, as another poster described you as saying so perfectly, manhunt to catch people that had done it.
"Someone" walks in with a faulty mic but an iPad BB on their iPhone. Genius says the situation. "Someone" then walks out with exactly the same issue as before which they can get fixed through a repairer anyway for not too much and both someone and Genius go on about their daily lives.
Judging from the posts I've read of yours lately on these forums you've either got a God complex or you think every other poster on here is a moron.
