im new to this site.i wanna put an cold air intake and exhaust in my lancer.will this void my warranty?
what brand of intake and exhaust should i get?which ones really make a difference?
thanks in advance

it will only void the warranty if when you have a problem, it has been caused by the aftermarket part.

for example, if you have an exhaust, and your shocks blow out, you will be covered under warranty.

However if you have a catback and then get a problem with the exhaust. The warranty wouldn't cover that.

i wouldn't worry at all about having an intake warrenty situation. and in some cases the intake company (if you buy reputable) will offer a warrent. at least i think they do.......... maybe not, oh well, who's ever heard of a problem from a SRI?

you can always call and feel out your dealer to see what they think about it. Some won't hassle you and others will. Legally they can't void your warranty but they can make it so difficult that you will have to go to court to settle it. My dealer is that dealer....called them and they told me all intakes would void the warranty..so I played dumb and just said "ok, thanks". But I never gave them my name or told them I even bought an intake yet. Best to just take off any parts when going in for service

would a axleback exhaust void warranty.

same thing applies, legally no. but if your dealer is an **** they can cause a huge headache. Its easy enough to remove an axle-back exhaust though when you have to go in for service.

oh ok so i see then. maybe i'll get that works exhale exhaust then since it sound pretty nice and not ricey after all besides getting a full catback.

No it will not, the only way you threaten your warranty is if you F with the emissions control system. Injen is releasing a full exhaust system that may in all likely hood remove the factory exhaust system. that right there gives dealers almost a free shot at making the complaint that you put a non mitsu certified CAT on the car, so any combustion related failures could be blamed on a comprimised emissions system.

if you ran the dealership, you would think the same way.
Anything after the cat you can play around with. the engine is dynamic enough to produce a CEL if your piping is massively to restritive or too large. (exhaust valve will adjust only so far for different condictions)

Bump this up for the new people.

hey guys.
i just bought a GReddy Ti-C racing exhaust for my 09 lancer, its an axle back exhuast sounds aawesome. not to ricey at all, quite a deep sound. anyways, i bought it from the mitsu dealer i bought my car from, they said it wouldnt do **** to my warrant,,so as long as its a mitsu certified exhaust, like one they would sell, u shouldnt have a problem.

That's interesting, my dealer had to order some RRM camber bolts to fix my pulling issue and I was told that simply putting those on the car voided my entire warranty because they were an aftermarket part. Of course I know he is full of it so I didn't worry about it.

What I did is I keep the stock intake so if some thing go wrong with my car I just put back on the Stock intake.

Yes it is a good idea to keep all stock parts, so if in doubt switch em out

I asked this exact question to my dealer a few days ago...and thats exactly wat he told me to do :clap:

Anything dealing with a voided warranty MUST be provided in writing for legal reasons... you know, something you can take to your lawyer.

:grin:
