Default Warranty Question?

So i took my car in because the tranny was slipping. They said checked it and said it was and to bring it back at a later date. Now do you guys think my modded airbox will void my warranty? And if it will do any of you guys have factory one for sale?

Anyone i ever talked to about this said, if your questioning it, they will.

Trust me if Government Motors can find a way to VOID your warranty to save a buck they will. Unless your friends with the service manager. lol

THEN your Good!

Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act

Research it, understand it, and the let the dealer know that you are informed if they make an issue of it.
