Default Warranty question...

I just recently bought my car with a 7yr/100k mile warranty (don't ask why...). I was wondering if there is ANYTHING I can do performance-wise that WONT void any of the warranty. Any input would be appreciated.

Typically adding aftermarket parts won't void most warranties...if something were to go wrong in order for the warranty to be void they would have to determine the part you added affected the broken part.

So say if you add intake and a suspension piece breaks it will still be under warranty and should be fixed under warranty. Hoep that makes sense

it really depends on your dealer....some dealers are really cool and understand that basic bolt ons shouldnt really effect anything negatively so they dont really care.

just dont modify the internals, on my warranty they say that if you change the compression rate (for example) your warranty is void..

just put an intake and exhaust, you wont affect any mechanical components, and if anything was to go bad, just put back the stock parts..

Probably not because the suspension was touched...but you could always talk to the tech and or service department .
