Warrenty Details??

I was wondering does it state in the owners manual or anything else stating what you can do to your car. Like what you can do after market parts wise and what will void the warranty and what will not.

I really would like to know, I never got around to finding more info about it.

I think as a general rule of thumb, any addition, as opposed to a modified version of a part present from the factory, can void your warranty. In other words, an aftermarket intake should not void your warranty, but a supercharger/turbo certainly will (for the engine, at least).

Look into the Magnuson-Moss Act. One legal interpretation of it is that a vehicle warranty cannot be voided unless it can be proven that the failure/damage/etc. to a warranty-covered part was caused by an aftermarket part.

So basically intakes and exhaust and the bolt on's shouldn't void the warranty

^^^ Exactly... although I'm unsure about plenum spacers since they're technically an aftermarket part which is an addition, not a modification.

I have one regardless - I think it'd be hard for them to attribute a problem to that.

I should add, as a disclaimer, that nothing I'm saying here should be taken as legal advice. I haven't spent much time looking at the Magnuson-Moss act itself, nor am I qualified in law in any way.
