Does getting exhaust on my srt 10 VOID my warranty??

[youngviper]

i went to the dodge dealer in Dublin, CA a few weeks ago and the guy told me that getting exhaust on my 2004 viper srt10 would VOID, my original 3 years manufacturing warranty UNLESS i had it installed at the dealership....Is that really true? Because im sure most of the guys here get work done on their cars at shops other than the deal. Is this guy at the dealership trying to pull a fast one on me or what? Anyone with information on the matter please get back to me, thanks.

He is trying to pull a fast one on you.

I asked the same thing. I would have to dealer to it. You may pay more BUT rather be safe then sorry. Also if you read the warranty it does say "any modifications." This is based upon THERE interpetations, not yours. While your analizing tha verbage your car sits there collecting dust. ALSO if u do the work somewhere else, your dealership trust me WILL have an attitude. Get the work done at the dealership..

Easy to say when you have the wizard next door.

So, you believe anyone else is that incompetent? I personally have more faith in aftermarket tuners than dealers. JMO.

Nope, ever heard of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act? Here is some reading for you. click click

I have had better luck than you because I have always been told (12+ years) that filter system and exhaust (even if full) do not void warranty. Porting and polishing would, because then you have changed the engine. Filters/exhaust don't do that.

So you should take your car to a dealer for oil changes, brakes, and other routine non-warranty maintenance? Why would you want to waste your money like that?

EDIT: re above post, some dealers could be treated as tuners, as in the above case. But they are very few and far between, and I only know of two that are like that.

Look up "Magnuson-Moss Act" in reference to your questions.

Best of Luck!

It'll void any exhaust warranty you have, but other non-exhaust related items should still be covered

yah i would rather pay a little more and have the peace of mind of knowing i still got my car completely under warrranty, because im going to get an extended warranty as well. but right now i want to add the belanger exhaust system and a K&N intake.

If your dealer told you that - I'd run as fast I as I could AWAY from that dealer.

They are lying. And if they'd lie about that - what will they lie about later?

Do you think Woodhouse, or Tator's, or Hendrick or anyone with 1/2 a clue would ever try to threaten or bully you into having parts installed by them with this nonsense? I didn't think so.
