I recently replied to a post about dual exhausts b/c I'm considering it myself but would like to know exactly what you can do before voiding the warranty. I just saw a K&N intake and filter and was thinking about that too but I don't know if this would be a problem either. Or, what if I just added dual exhaust pipes?

It can only void a part of the warranty that it effects. If you put on dual exhaust and your wiper motor goes out, its fine, if you throw a rod, 99% chance you are fine, but if you throw an o2 code, you are probably not fine.

As far as the intake goes, you will have no problems as long as you dont over oil your filter. I just installed my K&N intake this mornin (pics to come soon) and its got a very O.E. fit and finish, i love it so far.

yep... and it really depends on the dealership... I read one post where the poor guy took his stang in for the well know front popping issue (which has a TSB) and the dealership tried to blame it on his aftermarket exhaust!!! LOL! GEEZ!

On the other hand my dealership fixed my TPS problem with my Nitrous kit completely installed in plain sight and STILL ATTACHED to the TPS!!! LOL! I love my dealership!!! LOL!

ya, check the tsb sticky at the top of the page. Its all in there, print it out, take it to your dealer, they will have to order parts and then fix it for you.
