Exhaust modification voiding warranty

[Insanedonut351]

I was recently told that any modification to my stinger gts would void my warranty. I did a simple muffler delete. (Axle back). No tunes, no power adders. beIN a mechanic, I've never heard this before. I was under the assumption that everything behind the cats were fair game. Anyone else have issues?

You are correct in assuming anything behind the cats is fair game. Stay away from the dealer that tells you otherwise

Go to another dealer.

And here I have my dealer offering to do an appraisal on my modded out car lol. Your dealer doesn't know anything, an exhaust can't just void your entire warranty.

They can't just void your warranty. They can refuse repairs under warranty if they can reasonably show that a particular mod caused the failure. For example, putting on a CAI won't void the warranty, but if you put a K&N filter on that was obviously over-oiled and fouled the MAF, then they might have justification to not cover it under warranty.

Where’s the lock button on this car?

Ahh. I stand corrected.

Go to a Model T forum and ask the oil question. It'll end up something like the Poe orangutan issue.

(Tell me the "war flashbacks" bit doesn't describe pretty much every car forum everywhere.)
