is there anything i can do to my car that will increase the horsepower, but not void my warranty?

 

Plenty of things, theres a few stickies on this up top, but your best bet is to talk with the service manager of your dealer first and see what he/she has to say. Some are more allowing than others. I still have a full warranty, with the few engine mods I have...

But still:
Intake
Exhaust
Stage 1
etc etc.....wont void your warranty completely, but if they are the cause of a failure, then you have to pay for the repair.

 

the stage 1 wont void the warranty? wow.

 

Nope, not unless it directly causes the failure. Stage II is pretty much the same way, but with S3 you'll have bigger problems trying to get them to warranty things. Its just how they are.

 

My dealership says I have full 70,000 warranty minus (clutch and I'm assuming axles) with stg 2 turbo toys, exhaust, AEM intake and a few others. They didn't give me a straight answer about stg 3 (which will be on my car within a year) other than "limited" warranty. The turbo obviously wouldn't be covered among others. It all depends on your dealer. Some might void it for something as simple as a BOV.

 

so why would you guys even risk it..just going by word seems alittle shady...do you make them put it in writing or somthing?

 

most people bought this car to mod it and really dont give a **** about a warranty. if the warranty was one of the reasons you bought the car then i wouldnt mod it at all. My dealership told me as long as its stock when it comes back they will honor the warranty. so pretty much for me it has to be a blown engine or tranny for me to spend a day or two putting it back.

 

what's a warranty? haven't had one of those for a long time now....dcx doesn't know what it is either.....

 

After it's all said and done, I'm with PSI on this one..........
