Yes it is true...

If you go in with motor issues (as in internal) and you have a CAI/tune and exhasut, you are going to have a rough row to hoe. If you have a very good relationship with your dealer, they MAY cover it...but they can EASILY send you packing, and as Ford tightens the belt even more - they will.

To be safe, get an FRPP exhaust. Mine was $700 installed. It is TOP NOTCH...and in most opinions here, the best exhaust available for the six at any cost.

You can do your own CAI and tune and if you need major work done, just switch it back to stock.

FYI, my dealer would do the FRPP CAI and tune installed for $480. It is a nice setup as well, but I like my S&B and Diablo setup better. I do have FRPP as they look awesome, sound incredible and my warranty will never be in question.
