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

Your good man, it is actually illegal to deny warranty work due to the existance of aftermarket parts unless they can prove that the installed parts cause the malfunction.

My dealer told me that by installing lowering springs they would not warrant any suspension, driveshaft, or tranny, or underbody pinnings. Oh well who needs a warranty?

Your dealer is on crack. Smack them in the face with some legal action and we will se who isnt doing warranty work.

you only void that certain part of your warrenty when the aftermarket part you installed directly affects that part, and only if they can prove that its from your added part.
