what you posted i always knew. i once had a few problems with my car and one was a blown tranny. subaru dealership told me because of my modifications the entire warranty was void, even the radio and power steering!. i knew that wasnt true, and i told him to stop lieing to me and he got mad and i got mad and i told him dont touch my car im picking it up tomorrow.
i guess what im trying to say is i know what he said was BS but how do i go about letting someone know so i can get the rest of the work done that had nothing to do with the mods/ tranny?

So, will a simple mod like putting a cold air intake on an RS Wagon void a portion of my warranty? I have a 2005, 16,000 miles with a 100,000 mile extended warranty, but I want to do some bolt on

no, you probably still will not be covered. they didn't give you those parts, subaru never certified warranties for those parts on a wrx, and the dealership has no verifiable means of checking vintage, etc.
as a side note about this thread, isn't it all just semantics? I can't tell you how many times i've complained about saab "voiding my warranty" when i knew all along that parts still applied. it's just easier and faster than saying, they "denied my claim so i can only get non-related parts covered through them." |

OK then, I'll reword this. If i change to STI DP and Exhaust, Which I am sure has Cat in it, will this change cause all claims motor related to be denied? Is that clear enough for you? The reason I asked this, Previous Posts did not address my specific question about Using Factory O.E.M. parts probably puchased through the Parts department and not aftermarket, Do they not trust in the reliability of their own factory parts and Technicians? Maybe you should read previous posts.

Didn't mean to come accross as a smartass, That was the way I took it from you. I did not ask if it would "VOID" my warranty altogether as you state, Just asked if it would "Void", or result in all claims, ENGINE RELATED to be denied. That is what I meant about being clear. Don't just jump to conclusions and make insulting remarks. Sti downpipes are factory installed on WRX's in06 So apparently Subaru thought it was abetter part also. I just thought my original question was clear enough to get my question answered, at first all I got was Didn't I read previous post, None of the previous post posed the question about non SPT O.E.M parts, Anyways my question was answered on last post thank you kean. Also how would it be illeagal, It still has cat, No Emissions testing in IN, Just asking, don't beat me

Thank you, That was all i needed to know. Just didn't need the drama....I really didn't mean to come accross that way, Just you automatically assumed i didn't read previous post before asking my question. I know it is frustrating answering the same question over and over, but mine was a different question altogether. I have been guilty of the same assumptions when dealing with neons. Again thanks for your insight.

Correct, by law, a dealer cannot remove (unless replacing) or sell a vehicle without cats cat convertor(s). The only stipulation would be if the customer signed a waiver stating that the vehicle was going to be used for off road purposes only, and the dealer would not be held responsible for the vehicle is it was register for on the road use. |
