I heard of a Ford dealer denying warranty work because someone put a K&N air filter in his car. :laughing:  Dealers suck!

On my car the chip is an add on that I can remove pretty easily.

Plus the burden of proof is on the dealer. When I first got the neon and took it in for warranty work when the head gasket was leaking, they tried to deny it b/c I had an aftermarket suspension.(only mod at the time)

Another time, they tried to deny fixing one of the window guides that was scratching the glass b/c I had tints.

Course each was fixed for free as well as some courtesy items for my troubles. Just dont accept no as an answer by them, they have to prove said mod is related to said warranty claim/damage.

yeah, but im sure somewhere in the fine print it states you cannot modify major components of the vehicle without violating said warranty

they just didnt feel like arguing with a hostile customer

yes, it does state that, it also states that the damage has to be consistant with that modification.

So if you put a different muffler on and have a ecu failure..etc..

Or if you modify your intake and the cat fails..etc.

well, if you change the muffler on a car

it has a definate possibility of doing engine damage, among other exhaust problems

cars are built stock for a reason

Uhm no..changing a muffler from stock to a more efficient aftermarket one will not damage the motor. Exhaust system like the cat yes..but nothing else on the exhaust side.

Cars are built stock b/c that is what stock is..factory. Bad ass vipers and ferrari\'s are also stock..doesnt change the performance.

Cars are also built stock b/c of the price in some aftermarket upgrades.  Basically..anything built from a factory is stock..whether it is a 80 something 3cyl. geo metro or a 1200hp supercar....

well, one could do that. you could restrict intake and exhaust. add resonators and silencers on the exhaust end. That would choke off some power and quiet the vehicle down some.

Ok well first of all I MEANT to mispell my name ladies and guys,

Second what the hell you talking bout the blazer being "god awful", thats one of the most pimped out blazers you will ever see. Dont hate cuz you cant appreciate. Second its not blue anymore since 4 days ago, now is black with Red crystals. We bought the Same kinda rims (traded the old ones in) but they are now 24\'s and they keep spinning, you know after you stop. We changed the back and front lights also and replaced them with glass ones or whatever they called. and lowered it half an inch.

my Dad is 32 years old my mom is like 31 or something. he doesnt like the blazer, thats our "family car" he drives a Mexed out 95 chevy regular cab silverado.  the blazer i guess its kinda mine now, thats why most of the things that we added are from my own personal taste, and you know ima drive it to school....

damn, am I gonna get some booty or what...

My GF has one on order, no details yet. They told her to put down 10k and then when the car comes, if she likes it she can pay the rest of the money, for some reason the dealers are hush hush about it.

But Vivi the Evo\'s are sweet ass cars, im gonna be hoggin it :)

Are you kidding? I know mofos that get plenty of booty with NO car in college..that thing will pull many clams.

Vivi..will that be your first car? If so..Id advise against it, you will wreck it in a year.
