Hi ziggyst,has this been discussed in detail yet? im sure a lot of people are curious as to whether or not exhaust, intakes, tunes and such are warranty friendly or not?
i know i would like to know
this is my first brand new car and have never had to deal with warranty before, and yes, as ive previously posted, i do apprentice at a ford dealer but i have never dealt with warranty claims for such things, and am currently in school so havent been in to my dealership the past little while to ask anyone...
Well put...From what I have been used to, the only time your warranty is void is if the aftermarket part you had installed caused the failure of another part. For example, you install an air filter and the wheel bearing fails, the bearing is ok since the two are not related. You install a filter and the engine fails from dirt getting into the engine, then you are screwed. I have been modifying new cars for over a decade now and never ran into an issue with warranty and aftermarket parts. Just be smart about what you install and know that you might cause yourself a problem down the road. Avoid cheap stuff and anything that might cause problems with other parts of the car. If you modify the suspension so you can get the "stance-poke-maor poke" look and kill your wheel bearings, then you should have expected that when you made significant changes to the suspension.
