Extended warrenty question
O if I lower my max and add intake and exhaust does it void my extended warranty? I know about Magnus moss warranty act but my buddy had after market wheels on his mustang and the warrenty comps y dropped him and said **** you basically. Anyone have problems with theirs?

the Magnuson Moss act basically says a mechanic must prove said part (intake, whatever) caused the failure of the part they're denying warranty on. so for example, if you put an aftermarket big brake kit on your car and take it in for warranty work on say your window not rolling up, they simply can't deny the warranty claim - they're not even related.
it gets confusing when the parts may/may not affect things. for example if you get an intake and have a check engine light pop up (which is common due to excess oil or improper design of the MAF sensor location) they can say hey - we're not fixing this cause its most likely caused by your intake (and often is, is this instance).
but what you stated above, how he bought wheels and someone dropped him? i dunno that doesnt sound right, although i guess it may to an extend depend on the terms of your extended warranty contract. i do know that federal law protects you quite a bit here though, and dealerships WILL play hardball with you until you practically threaten lawsuits in some occasions. ive seen some ridiculous crap pulled by dealerships

intake is very easy, just a couple of bolts if that. check out stillen.com you can look at their intakes and check out the installation instructions (they're almost the same for all of them)
