Default Mods That Will Not Void Warranty

Ok now that I have my CAI and tune I am looking for other mods that will not void the warranty and will give me a little extra HP/TOR. If anyone then knows of any, which is the best brand to get of the said part. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that CAI and tune voids your warranty. They can't however deny you warranty work unless they can prove the CAI and tune caused the problem. Pretty much anything you change is considered voiding the warranty if it causes a problem.

Ditto...cai and tune=warranty void, as do most power-producing bolt-ons! If you forget the warranty crap youll have more fun with the car! FWIW

Don't worry about the warranty with the CAI/tune. Just reinstall the stock airbox and reload the stock tune before taking the car in for an engine-related issue.

Check out the Steeda mods in my sig. They were all installed at a Ford dealership (except the CAI/tune - Brenspeed FTW!). To my knowledge, none of them "void" the warranty.

You can get a warranty with a supercharger!

F*** the warranty, its just going to be a constant burden over your head. Exhaust is another good thing to do that stealerships wont claim caused a problem, but it wont get you to much power unless you go long tubes, but then the stealerships might say something.

You can do an all out FRPP dealership installed warranty improved setup.. but it wont be as good and will cost more than alternatives.. You can check out their whole catalogue of parts for the '05 stang online..

Gears.. I'll bet you could get some 4.10s (for manual) or 3.73 (For Auto) installed anywhere and the dealership wont say anything about it if you do have a warranty issue. appearance mods are generally non warranty voiding.. but for power adders they all could potentially cause a problem and thus make your warranty null and void. But if the mod isn't the source of the problem just be polite yet firm with the dealership that there is no way it could have caused the problem (ask people on here to make sure) and so they are required to fix it under warranty and in the manual it says the same thing so you can point it out to them..
