Default Will cold air intake void my warranty on 2013 R/T? (Lease)

So I have a lease and I'm wondering if a cold air intake would be worth the few hundred bucks... First, which ones are good? And second, will it void any warranty on my 2013? Any input would be appreciated.

The only way it would have any effect on your warranty would be if the installation of the CAI caused some other type of failure. Then that failure would not be covered.

Why would you want to do that on a leased car?

It is an easy bolt on and easy to put back to stock once the lease is up. Then the part can be resold.

Read the disclaimers on the websites of reputable air filter companies (i.e. K&N). Despite the fact that they are claimed to be "The worlds best air filter", their boxes say "Will not void your engine warranty". More importantly, in their instructions K&N goes on to say that if your dealership tries to void your warranty because of the filter, you can contact K&N and they will dispute the claim of your dealership. So, I say if you go with a K&N, you are pretty well covered.

I agree with Daytona, go with the K&N that's what I went with on my 2011 charger R/T and the dealers told me it should not affect any of my warranties, same with exhaust as long as you go from the catalytic converter back.

Well I did both my exhaust and cold air intake at the same time, so I definately felt an increase in performance but gas mileage I don't think I noticed a difference but than again I'm catching myself a lot heavier on the foot with the new set up lol
