my dealer told me cold air kit would void my warranty. because of them casuing the car to run a little lean. if i tune it also that would void for changing the factory computer settings. oh well my bud is a mechanic there so i guess i would have to visit him and let him do the work. yep o/r x would void also. they said that what i've done all i can get away with, exhaust only, that sucks.

You have to understand that just because you install a cold air intake they wont void the warranty on your ciggarette lighter. It is all about what caused the warranty repair needed. Just don't go giving them a reason to believe you have highly modified it, tore it up, and now want what you caused, covered under warranty. Remove mods before you take it in.

none of them will void your warranty b/c ford does not warranty the exhaust system anyways. look in your warranty paperwork. there should be a section called uncovered parts (or something like that). exhaust will be one of them. as far a voiding the warranty, they cant do that. all they can do is try to prove that a problem is directly related to the aftermarket part. all the exhaust system does is make the car breathe better. they will have a hell of a time trying to blame a problem on that.
things to worry about would be a S/C, nitrous, turbos, programmer, etc. and POSSIBLY underdrive pulleys...just depends on how much of an *** your service department guy is
by the way, i saw your list of mods on another thread. looks good, you should be very happy with it all
What size wheels/tires you got on your stang.
They look perfect...not too big, not too small...nice choice!
