Tens of thousands of new car owners upgrade their wheels, exhaust, and even intake systems without a problem. If anyone tells you otherwise, refer them to this: http://www.morethantires.com/MagnusonMoss.html < Message edited by conceptualpolymer -- 4/14/2008 8:35:47 PM > _____________________________ 1997 CX 5-speed Eibach springs and shocks Magnaflow cat-back AEM V2 intake 16-inch Black Racing Pro wheels Pillar Pod/tach/clock, Magnaflow and V2 install: http://www.conceptualpolymer.com/honda_corner.htm (in reply to cagekicker17) Post #: 2

I believe that is, in fact, the case. Now if your aftermarket exhaust does somehow cause a problem related to the exhaust system of the car I do believe it voids your warranty with regards to the exhaust system. That act only protects you from the dealership voiding your entire warranty. _____________________________ JP 2001 Civic EX Coupe MT "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side” (in reply to conceptualpolymer) Post #: 3

RE: Voiding Warranty - 4/19/2008 9:34:38 PM    conceptualpolymer   Posts: 467 Joined: 9/18/2005 Status: offline Think about it: What other component could a cat-back system possibly affect negatively? You are correct in saying that the dealership cannot deny a warranty claim for something totally unrelated to the aftermarket part, but let's face it, a catback system is completely passive. I think what cagekicker is worried about is that a dealership might deny coverage for say, a bad power steering pump, just because cagekicker installed a catback. That would be illegal and the dealership would always lose any court decision regarding that matter. _____________________________ 1997 CX 5-speed Eibach springs and shocks Magnaflow cat-back AEM V2 intake 16-inch Black Racing Pro wheels Pillar Pod/tach/clock, Magnaflow and V2 install: http://www.conceptualpolymer.com/honda_corner.htm (in reply to macbeth18288) Post #: 4
