Wrong. Steeda and Ford are two different companies.

You can't. You tune it, kiss the drivetrain warranty goodbye.

Unfortunately you have to pay to play. In this case with your warranty. Unless your service department is willing to over look items. And then you run the case of them sending a Ford Rep to check it and then you are screwed anyway

Well I'm past the tuner idea, just too scared to play with fire. Do you guys think a C&L intake could cause issues at the dealership? Just want the cleaner look and sound.

All depends on the dealership. As long as you don't have a catastrophic failure it shouldn't be a problem. But if your going to buy a Cai with the restrictor plug and not reflash the ecu, you can just swap the factory air box back on if you have to file a warranty claim. CAI swaps take all of 5-10min. Tops.

It really does depend on the dealer. On my 2011 the trans went, even with the Whipple, 1pc DS, UCS, Headers, etc. They replaced my trans without issue, I was the 3rd person to come in for trans issues.... but I was the 1st with a blower, lol. They even allowed me to install the Exedy clutch and flywheel while the trans was out.

True that on the swap, thanks guys. I'll be by there Friday, so I'll just see how they feel about it, they already cleared me on my resonator delete/gt 500 mufflers.

Bob's oil separator installed, sent me 3v instructions but it was pretty easy to figure out.
