Dealer and headers
Dealer and headers The ignition cylinderkey switch on my car is bad so Im going to take it to the dealer since its still under warranty, only problem is the car has headers. Will it void my warranty once they open my hood and see it? The headers have nothing to do with the problem by the way
Very true... GM however is going to find a way to cheat you out of the warranty work though... but I'm not 100% positive... they might not even trip about it... I do know that headers will void the warranty

Verdad Gallardo ok. then call the dealer that your taking it to and ask them if it will void the warrantee. hell they probably wont even report the headers to the warrantee company. they have absolutly nothing to do with the switch anywas.
you've got a bad ignition switch not an exhaust leak. you'll be fine.

No, the ignition lock cylinder is on the steering column. If they look under the hood for it, you've got more to worry about than a voided warranty.
LOL yeah I know its in the steering column but they might pop the hood to disconnect the battery first b4 they start working on it since it is electrical. Im on my way to the dealer Ill let you guys know what happens, wish me luck.

actaully they wont care and if they do theres a law that they have to prove that what you installed had to do with the part that went bad. I have headers on my car that i installed and when i take it in for warrnty work i never worry.
this is whay i thought, my friend with a mazdaspeed 3 looked into it here. he just started modding it and said hed fight it if they tried to screw him. im pretty sure they have to prove it caused the failure, but fighting in court migt not be worth it...

Well you would have to read in the paper work of the warrnty that it says any aftermarket parts voids it if not they have have to prove the headers in your case is what caused it. Just google Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
UPDATE
Well it turns out they tested the igition swtich and all the electrics and it seems to be the starter thats dead, so they wont fix it til monday since they have to order that part so I wont have my car for the weekend
and they have to contact my extended warranty company to check about the warranty
