RE: warranty.

It all depends on who you know. If the wrong person gets a look at that exhaust, say bye bye to the warranty for sure.

RE: warranty.

My friends 02 gt had new a x-pipe on his and the warranty was gone right when ford saw the new x-pipe. But like they said it all about who you know.

RE: warranty.

They have to PROVE that the install or part itself caused the problem. If you put longtubes on and a wheel bearing goes out, they HAVE to honor your warranty b/c you had no effect on the part. BUT, I would leave the manifolds alone. If you lose an engine, they could claim that the Longtubes changed the a/f ratio enough to hurt the motor.

RE: warranty.

Best thing you can do, is ask the service manager. Make him aware you know that the part has to cause the failure and he won't fool around and most likely won't give you a hard time.
