your best bet...would be to ask the dealer about the warranty...cuz i know some allow it while others dont...i know the dealer that i got my car said it was cool to have bolt-ons such as intake and exhaust...however it will be voided if the cause of the problem is due to the aftermarket part

If the dealer you bought the car from says it will void your warranty, take it to another. You can get warranty work done at any honda dealer. also acura I am pretty sure.

its illegal for dealers to void warranty based on the fact that you have a bolt on mod. its the dealers responsiblity to prove that the mod caused the problem.

I asked about Strut Bars, and the Warranty guy at my dealership here in NC
said there is no problem with it because the Civic Si has a stock upper front strut bar
and I think acura integra gs-r's have them too

they said as long as I dont come in for "suspension problems" that they wont even
take note of me having a strut bar

I dont know about intakes, or headers or exhaust, I think the guys above are right about that

I beleive if they see any mods to your car, and something goes wrong with your powertrain,

that they'll try their hardest to blame the mods for it. but it'll be quite hard to blame the mods.

Sometimes it seems dealers just make it up as they go , or can get away with... They all need to get on the same page.

Exactly. Its very dependent upon your particular dealer. Some are cool as hell, and others are EXTREMELY **** about ANY mod that is done....and will try to blame the defect on the most ridiculous things. Check with your dealer [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

My dealer says that as long as you do not cut into any of the wires or housing, your warranty will be good. Just don't cut into anything Okay! But nothing is better than getting it straight from the horses mouth.
