warranty issues?

Has anyone run across any problems with warranty issues by adding bolt ons?

I plan on adding a CAI w/ Tune, headers, x pipe w/ cats, axel back mufflers, ud pulleys.

Also does anyone have any suggestions on a good x pipe w/ cats that is a direct bolt on(no welding required)

this post was taken from another thread and may help in addressing your concerns...... I'll attempt to put this warranty issue to rest once and for all..This is nethier an opinion from myself nor my quotes, but from a Ford Field Service Engineer..No dealership has the legal authority to void a Ford manufactuers warranty.. The proceedure is as follows, the dealer's service manager must request that a field service engineer be brought in to investigate the warranty claim, by conducting a full investigation and must then prove within a reasonable doubt, that the modification or aftermarket parts were directly responsible for causing either the powertrain or engine components to fail..The results of that investigation are then submitted to Ford corporate headquarters, in Detroit..In which Ford then reviews the results and then bases it's final decision from the feild service engineer's investigation and recommendation..Finally, the dealership in question is then notified of the warranty claim status, as either approved or disaproved, by Ford corporate..Therefore don't allow dealerships like this, intimidate you..They do not have the legal right nor authority to void a manufactuers warranty..Even dealerships, are required to follow proper proceedure and are not above the law..However, you should always reflash back to stock prior to taking your car back to the dealership for service, in the event your dealership determines your stock computer files need updated and you end up leaving your custom tune installed ?? not only will you lose your custom tune, but your tuner will no longer function, because of it's inability to read your new stock files, your dealership just downloaded..Anyway, just a thought
