warranty question
I have just the basic 3 year 36,000 mile warranty and the lifetime powertrain warranty. I was wondering if adding the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Mufflex 5.7 Hemi Muffler Exhaust, is going to void my warranty. I know it wont be covered under the 3 year and 36,000 but i am more worried about the lifetime powertrain warranty.

You are correct.
Also in response to the question of it Voiding the warranty I pulled this directly from the warranty book in my truck.

Warranty
Your warranty is not affected by adding, or replacing a part with another mopar product that is approved for your version of truck.
The only thing you need to think about is if you want to install them yourself.
If there's any problems with your truck addition it would not be covered under the warranty as it was not installed by a Dodge dealer. Also a dealer can question any warranty work that might arise from your addition, as they can claim that the part was not installed to factory specifications.
Also they way I understand my truck warranty is if my Dodge dealer installs any mopar products its has the same warranty my truck has.

You will have have a issue just replacing the muffler, which is all the Mufflex is.
