So Im looking for simple effective mods to do to my car for now that will keep my warranty in tact but still provide considerable power gains and lots of fun!

Looking forward to feed back, thanks in advance!

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A dealer cannot deny warranty simply because you have changed a part. Basically, a dealer has to honor the warranty unless they can prove the part you changed caused the fault. e.g. altering your wheels & tires should not effect a warranty claim on the a/c. This sounds straightforward but often things fall into a gray area. For example, supercharging the engine and then trying to warranty a transmission failure. Did the transmission fail because of the extra engine power? Much depends on the relationship with your dealer.
