whats up guys...i just got my 03 type s and want to start modding...only question i got is that if i do things like the header or pulley does it void the trasmission warranty? i dont want to mod, and have my tranny shit the bed and not be able to replace it

 

They have to prove that the modification caused the failure.

 

What about just an intake (AEM V2)?

 

Warranty is not effected by your desired mods

I would register at www.acura.com ownership experience link and make sure your 03 is covered under the 7/109
not all of the 03s are

 

With all my mods listed in my sig, I was never questioned when I had my tranny replaced, don't worry about it.

 

Nope it does not. there is a actual act with SEMA that fights for aftermarket companys. the dealer can not void your warrenty unless they can prove the aftermarket part caused the failure. Unless you break into the motor like start changing out cams and or transmission gear ratios and such then your warrenty is void. but just bolt ons it will not void it. but be careful and if you are hesitant just call the dealer and see what they say.

i had no problems. i have all kinds of aftermarket parts and i have not been denied warrenty.

 

Just to echo what's being said, with the mods below I also didn't have a problem getting my tranny replaced under warrenty.

Good luck,

 

Here is the quote exacty from www.sema.org. they will fight for you and aftermarket companys. its actually a federal law.

"Quoted from www.sema.org"

"The Law"

Federal law sets forth requirements for warranties and contains a number of provisions to prevent vehicle manufacturers, dealers and others from unjustly denying warranty coverage. With regard to aftermarket parts, the spirit of the law is that warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle, or have been used (see Attachment A).The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket part caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Disputes in this area usually boil down to arguments over facts and technical opinions, rather than arguments over interpretations of the law.
