what kinda bolt ons would void my warranty? i want headers real bad and compech is expensive.

 

aftermarket parts supposedly void warranty only if it is the cause of the problem so unless headers would cause something of yours to malfunction, then it won't void it. but don't take my word on it

 

Driving your car voids warranty.... seriously

 

ok beacuse im worried about the transmission going out, i hear the trans isnt the greatest on the CL. i just dont want to have to pay for a warranty because of headers and CAI. thats all im gonna put on it.

 

This is the general rule. However the dealer decides if they want to warranty it or not. Call some dealers in your area & ask around. I know some are mod friendly & some that won't touch a modded car. There's a law that says this shouldn't happen, but it's border line, & you would have to fight it(ie court)

 

Do you have manual or auto? I have headers, supercharger and suspension mods all done by the dealer and they have not voided my warranty on the car. But if mods go bad I am on my own and I will have to deal with manufacturer of the mod.

 

from what i understand as long as the dealer does the mod work in my situation they will not void the warranty. as for my self they voided mine when i blew my 6-speed because i had all my work done by someonelse. it cost me $4500 for a new one. that hurt real bad!!

 

Sorry to hear that, but what did you blow? the engine while supercharged or transmission

 

How the heck does a transmission go out due to headers and CAI?

 

it wont most likely.. i was gona do a trans cooler too .. i jjust want to be sure before i go and het them.

 

You would be shocked at the things I've heard dealer service & managers say.

 

i blew third gear in my 6-speed racing in Brooklyn one night racing a nissan maxima 3.5 i was not yet supercharged though i dont think it would have been a problem beating him if i had it!

Here you go. Have a read. I think you should be OK with headers and an intake....

A lead foot and constant smashing of the pedal?

Also its all up to your dealership on what will void a warranty and what not. Park Ave Acura in NJ never said anything to me about my mods when my car was getting warranty work done to it....even my headrest monitors which kept settin my SRS sensor off which they changed about 4 times under warranty

Also check the site that RaviNJCLS linked you too its the magnussom warranty act......basically says that they must prove that the mod actually caused that specific part to fail.
