Thanks for the info everyone! A question for the manual mach 1. I've read about people having problems with the clutch. The most common I've read are problems with 2nd gear. Does anyone know if this just a common problem or just isolated?

Your warranty will be voided only if the dealership can prove that the part(s) you added/replaced with aftermkt caused problems to whatever part your filing a claim for. In all honesty, Its illegal to remove factory cats from your car (all 50 states), but if you do and lets say your trans blows, the exhaust didnt cause your trans to fail, so itshould be covered. Now if you blow a head gasket and/or some other internal engine part fails, then dealership could say that by removing the factory exhaust,the engine partfailed, then its a toss up.They still have to prove that the engine part failed because you removed the factory exhaust/mid pipe...hope I helped here. Basically, its up to the dealership to prove that your added parts caused a certain part to fail, its the law.

oh I have problems with my clutch, in fact im about to replace mine with a stage 2, which i would advise anyone to do anyway.

CarpeDiem

Ohh...Thanks radaman. I get it now. whodini72 are you installing the stage 2 yourself? How much would that cost?

whodini72

IT depends on the brand and who installs it- I have a friend who is installing mine for 150, and the clutch and the stage 2 is around 300. Everyone tells me it usually costs around 5-600
