I have OBX headers and CT CAI....

...and now I have a busted tranny at 37K miles.

Have any of ya'll had problems with warranty issues for having non-comptech components?

By the way, I have a 2002 TLS.

Thanks!

CompTech doesn't have a CAI...they have an IceBox. Which one od you have? I have the OBX and Injen CAI and my tranny is gone...getting a new one on Tuesday.

Even if you didn't have those mods your tranny would have failed. There is a design flaw in a certain percentages of the trannies, and they'll fail regardless of if you have mods or not.

As for the warranty issue... since it was your tranny which is a known weak spot on the car you shouldn't have any problems..... however, in the end, it's up to your dealer....

Like JB said. My tranny died and the dealer put in a new one eventhough I had the OBX headers.

Thanks for the input, guys. FYI....tranny died on my birthday on the 19th! What bad luck.

I guess the only good thing that came out of this is that at least I got a WDP TL-P as a loaner, not some auto RSX. It's got 16K miles on it...watch the tranny die on me before I bring it back....

I'd drive that loaner to hell and back if I were you. I love getting those loaner cars. It's so much fun to kick the sh*t out of them, and you never feel guilty for it since it's not your car.

those 1.7EL's have absolutely no power, but it's fun having thr ABS kick in almost everytime you stop...

brakes are quite good on that little go-kart.

The only mod so far that'll void your extended tranny warranty is the S/C at certain dealers...
