Need some advice...

I want to put in a Z-tube + Stillen CAI, MREV2 + 5/16 spacer & a decent exhaust system (not sure which yet).

I have under 1,000 miles on my new 06 6MT Coupe.

Am I violating my warranty with any of these mods?

Thanks.

jk! they have to prove that the after market part caused the problem for them to deny warranty

 

Correct.

There was this trial in the 50's or 60's about warranty.

Supposeably the court ruled that the dealers cant deny you warranty unless they prove that the modification you did was the cause of the problem.

Problem is, if you complain about how your winshield wipers arent working, and you have a aftermarket intake, dont be surpriced if they "claim" the problem was caused by the intake

 

you'll be fine with those mods..........jst no nos

 

yea, but that doesn't mean that most dealerships won't give you the run around for 4-5months before doing anything.

people seem to think dealerships are your friend and arn't out to screw you.

 

AKA stealerships

 

just be firm with them. its the magnuson-moss act if im not mistaken. you can thank SEMA for that!

 

ph34r teh stealership!

 

this has been an ongoing issue ive read other threads about this it seems that if the dealership wants to make it a problem it can cause you a real headacke...basically its your choice your taking the risk i have a an 06 mt dg i dont even want to put an intake because of voiding the warrenty

 

sorry to steal your thread but would modding your suspension void your warranty?

 

Same deal: If they can prove that the suspension mods caused the issue with something in the suspension, then yes, they can void the suspension warranty.

As people said above they have to prove your mod caused the problem you need fixed, but some dealerships may hassle you about it anyway...

 

i told them my tire pressure light keeps comming on but i checked the pressure and its fine.. they said well we cant fix that since you have aftermarket rims thats whats causing the problem.

 

yea, but that doesn't mean that most dealerships won't give you the run around for 4-5months before doing anything.

Remember it's the manufacturer and not the Dealership that honors the warranty. The Dealer couldn't care less if he's paid by the customer or the manufacturer. The reason for the hesitancy by some Dealers to pay off a warranty claim is their fear that the manufacturer won't honor the warranty claim, and then the Dealer will have to pay. The Dealer that I go to has never given me a problem about warranty claims, but then again I keep my mods to a minimum. Some guys add FI and then have the ***** to go to the Dealer to get their engine replaced after it blows.

One other thing. Establish a solid relationship with your Dealer. They are a lot more likely to be in your corner when there's a questionable warranty claim, if they know you well, then if you are a stranger.
