16sxt journey Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Will changing the factory mufflers out for aftermarket ones void my warranty?? I have the 7/100,000 warranty and don't want any issues. So any help would be awesome. Thanks Edited May 1, 2016 by 16sxt journey dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty256 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 that question would be best to ask your dealer dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I think that if you lower the back pressure the warranty people could turn this against you if you develop issues with the engine. I removed my resonator and am hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Agreed with the responses. Best to ask your dealer. Normally it would not affect any warranty, but if there were some issue, the dealer could always point to modifications and void the warranty. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankster Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I would leave it alone. I Used to put lower ristrction mufflers on, remove resonators etc on cars I owned in the past. Its always a comprimise and will probably leave you with negative side effects. Several of you flamed me on putting irridium spark plugs in, those same engineers tuned the engine to operate with the back pressure and flow from the factory set up.

az15sxt Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 had this discussion with the dealer when I swapped exhausts on my Avenger....they cannot void your warranty unless it proven 100% the aftermarket part is directly related to the failure of the part. Now the exhaust will no longer be covered under the terms of your warranty so if anything happens to it...thats on your dime....there is a law that explains it better.....ill see if I can find it dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey_SeXT Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I believe that if you are altering the performance of your exhaust system with an aftermarket then yes it probably will void your exhaust warranty but not everything else that is warrantied in the car unless the dealer can prove that damage is due to the exhaust modification. You may want to check with the dealer what your options are. Edited June 12, 2016 by Journey_SeXT dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
