VAFC and warrenty

I have a VAFC installed and i was wondering if this would void my warrenty since the wires are connected to the ecu.

No frog harness .... your gonna get owned

175 bucks is a lot better then risking the chance of voiding a warrynty

If one dealer saw it and said no we wont do any work, and they voided my warrenty, would that mean that all the dealers wouldnt accept my car then?

serious only if you have ecu related problems and they can prove the vafc is the cause of the problem, other wise they can't void the warranty. when i take my car in, the service advisor said my my vafc looks cool. you guys don't have to worry about it too much, unless the dealer is dick and try to rip you guys off. it will be super troublesome to put your car back to stock even for unrelated stuff, say vafc and you need to warranty warp rotors.

my customer call me the other day said his brake lights don't work, ford dealer replace the brake module for 3 times already and can't located the problem, they try flame my shop for the alarm i put in 1 year ago, i told the service advisor and service tech that we could come down and remove the alarm system, if the brake lights work i will give my customer a refund, if is still doesn't work i will bill them the alarm removal and reinstallation plus extra time on the road, they never call me back afterwards...

unless the vafc can be directly connected to what ever is wrong, they cant void your warranty

what can a VAFC do for sure that warranty wouldnt cover, and what would be the chances of that failure?

you only have an exhaust setup(as far as I can tell from your sig), will a VAFC do any good?

I got the vafc because my friend was selling it cheap for 100 dollars. I already have the exhaust and the UR came today. Sometime this month Im getting headers and intake. Then I will go and get it tuned with everything. Right now the Vafc only gives like 3-4 hp.
