Has anyone gone back to the dealer to get their car checked and had a new intake under the hood?

I wanted to ask if the dealer will trip of me having a new intake in the car.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Does adding a new intake or other parts such as springs and exhaust also void my warranty?

And also one more thing.

DOes the check ingine light and need maintenance light stay on untill someone resets them?
Will they keep coming on after certain miles? I hate those lights!!

I just talked to my service and warranty manager today on the phone about mods. this is the advice he gave me.... "if I take the car in with problems remove the bolt on parts before I bring it in to the dealership." If something goes wrong with the car and they see mods, its the first thing the dealer is going to blame!

But then if there is no probs with the car, with mods on then its kooo with them..?.?.....

thats true always remove your bolt ons be4 you go to
dealership, and you know RIMS also void your
transmission. they voided mine...once you
buy the car they no longer care about you
cuz they already sold the car...

You must have a crappy dealer I asked mine and they said 17's would not void anything and I could even drop the car 1 in. All dealers are not created equal it sucks. Then my other dealer said my Clear Headlights would void it but he didn't know anything so whatever.

I have taken my car in about 3 times now with my intake on....they still have not said anything....and the third time i saw some crappy intakes that they were trying to sell.

Thats strange, I have had no trouble as of yet. They actually want me to do work cause mine would be one of a kind in my area and would make people want to buy the Honda product and do the same, so they are all behind me, I am thinking I might see if I can get some sort of a sponsorship out of them.

hmmm...
it's time for my check up too but i just put my catback on last week and im not paying them to take it off and put it back on again. i might just have to risk it. i don't want to take the intake off either and put the factory one back on. Just thinkin about is giving me a headache.

by the way
how much does a check up/ tune up usually run and consist of?

I have put 18's on my car, lowered it 1.3" (done at dealership) and painted the trim in my car, cleared my lights, added a new grill (both top and bottom) and a new exhaust and my dealer loves it. The guys always compliment me on it when I go their and they haven't said anything about voiding parts. When I asked they said everything I have done is fine. I am so glad I don't have a dealer thats a pr!ck!!

Yeah my dealer is cool too, I think it depends on the dealer. Mine actually painted and installed my body kit, and they all love it, the guys at the body shop are now my buds I just had it in this past weekend for the 7500 mile check up they recommend, and they didnt say anything about my exhaust or rims or anything.

i like how people have only had their car for 7500 miles and already have a bodykit, rims, exhaust, and whatever else.....damn i wish i had that kind of money

NickDaMans02Civic

Yeah I have 10k on mine and I have like some mods done but I don't have the cash to do anything anymore. Hopefully this job market improves even with a college degree I am having problems. Yeah some people are just blessed with money its life.

i checked with my dealer yesterday and he said they people all the time with intakes and stuff on
as long as it doesn't cause some type of hazard to driving then it's ok
