Rallye Acura are a pain in the a$$ sometimes about stuff like that. Very picky....I go there for service and sometimes they get out of hand, but on occasion they are very cool and even helped me out once or twice. Park Ave Acura always gives you the straight up answers though and I think they have a lot more credability because of it. Thats just my .02 of course

For the 2nd time, NO......It "doesn't" void your warranty

Some dealers like Park Ave sells and installs Comptech parts. And they still honor the warranty......

Other dealers simply don't.

The headers are about the only thing that owners often claim to actually feel a pretty big difference(@ the top end(RPM))....aside from obvious things like NOS.

IMO, the "gains" from a CAI isn't worth it to me for the added noise they create(unless one likes the noise), but I think the noise they produce makes some people think it's faster . I like this ride quiet....all the time and especially when accelerating.

Look at the added power headers add around 5800+ RPM.

How could they prove that a header voids your warranty. Its like saying if you don't use acura's oem tires or brake pads you void the warranty or putting a different exhaust. As long as the header allows the gases to flow out then it can't void your warranty. The header is not an intricate part that could do damage. The only way it could cause damage is if it had solid tubes instead of hollow pipe and the gases built up inside LOL. Sue them for not honering your warranty under the Magnsum Law. LOL
