Have any of you experienced problems with warranties or the service dept. for just having intake and exhaust? Just wondering since I have both and the muffler is kinda welded in so just thought I would ask so I can be ready to pull that stuff off if I have a problem with the truck.

 

I didn't have a problem with my exhaust. They just told me, "sounds good." Then tossed me the keys.

 

Mufflers will not affect warranty. If the cats are modified or your running true duals the exhaust warranty is voided. And intake will only void your OEM intake warranty and possibly MAF related parts.

 

I had mine in with true duals also, no problems.

 

Thanks guys, my gf had a sh*t fit about it! I was like hey i make the payment and its under my name WTF! So that thought she put in my head about oh your warranty is voided your dumb was lurking at the back of my mind.

 

Most stuff you change, only voids that part and what goes along with it's warranty. I'm out of warranty so whatever!

 

They must like you then. Everywhere else denies exhaust warranty with real duals since these engines do not have the performance to back up true duals, causing a minor lean condition in most applications.

 

I wasn't in their for exhaust, so I guess they said forget it.

They drive the cars like hell behind the fence! I heard my truck, they drove it harder than I do!

 

Interesting info, I just talked to her and she seemed satisfied with the answer. Gosh if we aren't out buyin them stuff they are never happy hahahaha

 

I hear ya man, my girlfriend said for everything I buy my truck I have to buy her something of equal or greater value!

 

lol yeah I dont like it when my truck is in their hands out of my site. I'm happy no one had mentioned my rear converter delete job when they were changing out my fuel filter, cause the fuel filter is right there on the frame about a foot away from where the left cats go. I remember hearing my truck start up numberous times when it was on the alignment rack, and heard the guy pull it out after my struts. Thing can be heard pretty good.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act requires an auto manufacturer to live up to their warranty regardless of modifications unless they can prove that your modification caused the defect in question. It's been a while since I read the entire document but I know that you can take legal action to make them pay for something that you are sure was not caused by your modification. In most circumstances it doesn't make since to take legal action however, since the cost of the repair will be far less.

 

My knowledge is not with the warranty issues much bit I do believe minor modifications do not perminantly null the entire warranty. Only if something illegal has been done, for example, no catalytic converters.

 

Those bastards, lol.

 

true duals will not void oem cat warranty...
