If your car is under warranty only put the mufflers on. If you put bigger pipes on ford will not fix your transmission if it were to go bad. I have the same mufflers welded in on a stock system on a 03 gt the sound is awesome! You may loose some low end torque and gain on the top end and gain a few horses but the sound is worth it!Mustangl3 said:I wantedd to get the flowmaster original 40 series mufflers welded in, but was wondering if the bigger size of aftermarket cat back pipes would be worth spendin the extra money on
what does an aftermarket exhaust have to do with your transmission? from what i've learned, any aftermarket parts you add only void the part you're replacing. so in order to void the warranty on your tranny, you'd have to install an aftermarket clutch or something..jrc_03_gt said:If your car is under warranty only put the mufflers on.

thats what i was thinking too...i remembered reading about the magnuson-moss act but i just forgot what it was called. thanksSpidey said:It's actually considered illegal to void a warranty based upon aftermarket parts (for some info, see: Magnuson-Moss Act). They can void the warranty on the missing/altered part, but unless they get an FTC exemption, they're legally liable to fix anything else that goes wrong within reason (naturally, running NOS through your car can void your warranty).
A lot of dealers were voiding entire warranties for K&N Air Filters (yeah, an air filter).
Granted, it does vary level-wise on what protection you have state to state. But most dealerships will try everything possible to weasel out of a warranty. They hope that most consumers don't do their homework and just accept it. Because in the long run that's $$$ in their pocket when you pay for service. It's best to consult with your attorney when dealing with such things, as they'll be able to tell you if you really did void the engine/tranny warranty based off of aftermarket exhaust pipes.
