What impact to a warranty is adding headers. I can see where it would obviously kill any warranty of exhaust components, but does it affect the warranty on anything else???

Anyone have any dealings with warranty issues with a dealer because of headers??

Thanks!!!

Found this Warranty Denied starting from www.sema.org

Problem is, how much do you want to spend and fight for "your rights"?

I would suggest you discuss planned mod's with your dealer service manager and to see how they would react.

If the dealer is okay with the mod, you should get something in writing, from the dealer, stating that the mod will not void the warranty.

From my experience only - if the mod has nothing to do with the warranty most dealers will look away.

i.e. if you have headers and your power window motot lets go, no biggee, but, if you have headers and the head gasket needs early replacement you may have a struggle.
