Use the search. If you buy an exhaust and you suspension breaks, they will warranty it. If you buy a turbo and your engine fails, they will blame the turbo and your warranty wont cover it. They have to prove that whatever mod you have, caused whatever problem you have in order to void. It will be a big mess either way.

On that note some pain in the **** dealers could argue that 'your exhaust created extra power that put more strain on the car which caused your suspension to break' or some other **** like that...

Dealers are good at bullshitting (no offence to any dealers out there)

+100

Also TuX_69, the dealerships may be good at BS'ing good reasons not to honor the warranty, but they would have to prove IN WRITING that whatever mods you did to the car are responsible for the resulting damage.

Just because you say something doesn't make it true. You'd be amazed how quickly the expression on a dealer's face will change when you tell them "OK, can you put that in writing for me so I can present it to my lawyer? Actually, make another copy too, I need to get an expert opinion as well."

its a good thing that theres no full exhaust systems out for our cars yet then for the dealer to say "it gave extra power so ur suspension failed" i believe all thats out is axle back bolt on exhaust systems right now, so that wont create any extra power really, juust change the sound.

Injen has a full headerback exhaust system, but it only fits PZEV (Cali-spec) model cars only.

And there's also the boat of people who like to have custom made exhausts... like me :)
(I said like to have... and I would like to have it)
