intake question

hey guys im looking to put a cold air intake on my 06 civic, but do any of yall know if putting one on would void my warrenity that i have on the car? dont really wanna spend the money to not be able to put it on.

i dont want to lie to you, so i would say that it should be defined in the paperwork for your warranty what you can do to the car.

I don't think an intake voids the warranty however do find out for sure first. Either way though...an intake isn't that big of a project to change out. If you ever need to take it to the dealer it would only take a few minutes to put the stock one back on.

thats true, i had never thought of that

your warranty should not be voided for anything that makes the car "breath" better

so you would just say that the intake helps the car "breath" haha

Thats exactly what it does actually...

yeah, thats exactly what im saying. less resistance and mor eair = better air fuel mixture. And that equals 5 or so xtra horses. A intake dosent void ANY waranties because it dosent strain the engine at all

The Magnusson-Moss Warranty/Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of
1975 protects consumers from this type of fraudulent activity by new
car dealers. Under this Act, aftermarket equipment that improves
performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer's original warranty,
unless the warranty clearly states the addition of aftermarket
equipment automatically voids your vehicle's warranty or if it can be
proven that the aftermarket device is the direct cause of the failure.
The easiest way to check this is to look in your owner's manual under,
"what is not covered." Under the Magnusson-Moss Act a dealer must
prove, not just vocalize, that aftermarket equipment caused the need
for repairs before they can deny warranty coverage. If they cannot
prove such claim - or offer an explanation - it is your legal right to
demand compliance with the warranty. The Federal Trade Commission
(202.326.3128) administers the Magnusson-Moss Act and monitors
compliance with warranty law.

warranty is a joke..... if you paln on modding your car just forget about your warranty, PERIOD!!!
