Does X pipe void warranty?

The Magnuson-Moss act is pretty cool, but it wont win over a dealership. If you want to take it beyond that its definatly not gonna win against FoMoCo.

They will always come up with some BS as how to aftermarket part x has affected broken part x even if its totally unrelated.

You either get lucky and find a mod freindly dealer, or your pretty much out of luck.

remove the xpipe and slap on the stock one. less than an hour of your time.

I thought according to magnusons law or something, they have to prove that the part caused the defect.

i bleieve that they do have to prove it plus if you let yourself get suckered into there BS then yeah you lose the case

Sorry for the confusion, I was in a rush. Last night I tried to install a white faced overlay over my stock 2004 GT OEM gauges. The instructions said to take the needles off. After the white face and needle installation I found out that all the needles were way off. I was going to put it all back together say nothing and bring it to the dealer under warranty or if I could pay to get them re-calibrated. I needed to know if warranty was good with an O/R mid pipe.

Give it a shot, worst they can say is no.

oh ok yeah slap the stockers on and give it a try like killy said worst is "no" but i doubt they'll relate that to an o/r X-pipe causing it unless they say "oh that exessive noise from your aftermarket pipe threw the needles off"

hahaha. Sounds good to me. There were no seals or anything just screws and some new fingerprints I can clean

All Ford Dealerships are different.
Mine told me if I had a warranty and I wanted to mod
my car the only mods I could do without voiding any parts of the warrarty were a cai or catback exhaust
and that is it.

It's getting harder now to help people out, on a lot major stuff like trans work and definitely on engine failures a inspector comes out. There is no way we can help out when the inspector comes.
