RE: Finally
that car will be loud!!
consider this ,people have modded this car since it hit the road in 04.
there have been issues but most have been taken careof by one dealer or the next.
create some angles between you and the dealer, depending on what you need done,
very easy to return too stock from cai & tune.
because, if you go in there with that exhaust setup they will look for the tune.

RE: Finally
The cold air is very tempting, and I probably will end up doing either steeda or c&l but for now its not practical because I have two tickets im fighting and the last thing i need is a real horsepower increase, lol... As far as exhaust warranty being voided, I realize ford wouldnt replace aftermarket parts if they brokebut thats why slp and other companies carry warranties right???

RE: Finally
^^^ the warranty concern is that your modication will void the warranty on that particular system of the vehicle, not that the dealer won't replace your aftermarket part if it fails (example - they try to say your CAI caused your check engine light to come on, or your gearswap screwed up your differential side bearings, etc).

RE: Finally
Careful with that setup... once its on there is no going back (without spending a lot more $$$). Loudmouths are loud as it is, and so far everytime I've heard them with another mod, like headers, or an xpipe, or no cats, they've been insanely way too loud and raspy. I'd imagine with high flow cats and an X pipe they will be very annoying.
Also, a Ford worker on here said the only warranty-friendly mod is axle-backs, and going further up to the H-pipe and especially the cats will give warranty issues.
I'm not trying to put your idea down. Exhaust is usually a person's first line of attack. But be careful in what you expect with that setup....

RE: Finally
