At this time warranties were voided and this was a real result to almost every enthusiast. This could be in some ways be responsible for this common misconception in many people nowadays. Now thanks to lobbying by the SEMA organization regulating car warranties in a carry on of a bill regarding consumer product warranties called the Mangusen Moss act OEM manufacturers can no longer void car warranties due to aftermarket parts. SEMA is a group that represents most companies that manufacture modifications. Obviously if a modifications breaks something mechanical you have to fix what broke just like if you damage your car's body in a crash it's not warrantied even though your car body has a warranty.

Law also requires that manufacturers have a warranty arbitration process which has consumer advocacy in mind. Ford actually has the simplest to use system compared to any other American sold manufacturer where they've established a 1800 number to call something in to Ford Corporate directly. ask your dealer about where to arbitrate your warranty claims.

Furthermore it's international Ford policy in every country not to void your warranty due to cat back exhaust systems or appearance parts though they can void your warranty in those places for other things.

The only brands that exempt themselves from this federal regulation in their warranty disclaimers are BMW with every model and Nissan on the GT-R model. Ford actually specifically restates information which follows the Federal law on it's stance on modifications in a section of the information it prints about the Mustang warranty.

Also there have been over 5,000 threads on this forum backing this subject up not to mention the post above this one, this is a misconception that's so common that there are 3 threads a day made about it.

Some aftermarket manufacturers also warranty their own parts against failures of the car such as Roush mentioned above, which actually is a great supercharger that I'd recommend to anyone.

And don't you dare look at my ***** again.'

Recite this to the guy at the service counter and he won't say another word about it.

As far as breaking your car due to mods/abuse....you know if you have been naughty or nice and your not gonna fool anyone but yourself....why argue with the dealer? Break out the wrenches and get to work or $$ pay!!!
