That's what my dealership did. They voided the powertrain warranty for headers. I sold back my extended warranty(Do it now it's prorated) and I am waiting a couple of weeks for my new motor to be assembled.

Do the mods.

If you become buddies with the service manager at your dealership you will be ok. I can do just about anything to my car and he is cool with it. He even invites me out to the track everytime he sees me

I agree with all the others - screw the warranty and have fun with the car

It's a 2001 for cryin' out loud. I've had zero problems with my 2001, and I don't forsee any in the near future. Take care of the car, and it will take care of you

I'm going to have to agree with everyone else in this thread. Install the pulley and the cam. Someone on this board has this quote in their sig, and I love it! "I wiped my *** with the factory warranty." It's exactly what I did too. And install everything yourself if you can, it's a great learning experience.

they will prorate it and send you a check your payment will stay the same unless you refinance with that money added towards what you owe it will then lower your payment.or you could use it for more mods

A warranty was not even offered for my car and I wouldn't have wanted one anyway. The dealer that had it couldn't sell it because it was a stripped down car, or what he called a "race car" (1LE). He kept it off the lot behind the bodyshop. I was told that "they omitted certain quality control standards." I love it and think it is a much better buy than the Cobra R that was listed for $60,000 on a bid system. I wound up with only one of three Arctic White 1LE's that came with the 4L60E.
