One of the most important things you should remember is find a friendly dealer and develop
a repour with them. Be curtious and keep from annoying them with frivolous things.

Also quit bragging on your car... they read this board Too.

It should only void the warranty on exhaust, BUT the dealer may say it did blah, blah, blah and void the warranty on the engine which made too much power, which coupled with the thoery you were probably driving hard, which would then void the drivetrain warranty, etc, etc.

I know it sounds corny but certain dealers may do this. Then again the dealer may not care at all.

One dealership tried to void my friends warranty because of flps a lid and borla. I was like wtf, tell me how those mods blew a head gasket. 2 hours later the car was being replaced under warranty. He had to go to the head service manager though. He also checked the car up and down looking for sighs of NOS.

Thank god I got the hook up at a dealership with my car.
