air filter. possibly the free ram air mod. usually dealerships will find a way to not have your car repaired under warranty. this has happend to me on a few occassions. if you put an aftermarket air lid for example, just remember to take it off when you go to the dealer.

EDIT: take the aftermarket lid off, and replace it with stock lid.

I've already had a dealer try to void my warrenty for all my mods. I actually had to call pontiac because they refused to work on it. Pontiac told me that unless my mod made it break I was good. If you read you warrenty It basically says that they are only responsible for what was on the car the day you purchased it. If you have any questions call the number in you owners manual. I have alot of mods on my car and the service manager at my local pontiac dealer has been told to leave me alone

Depends on the dealership once you crack open the engine you will no longer have a powertrain warranty (engine/all parts connected to warranty)

-Lid
-Filter
-Exhaust (will void your exhaust warranty after the cats)
-Pulley (you may run into some issues)


Some dealerships are cool about mods some are not I always keep a copy of the SEMA "Consumer Bill of Rights" for Aftermarket parts in my glove box incase a dealership tries to pull some B.S. on me.

It is all about the dealer and what you do to the car. I have seen and heard that a Lid, filter,exhaust, but keep the cats, and ASP pulley but I am not sure about the pulley.

My warrenty paperwork said no "freeflowing exhaust". No tire size change. No aftermarket clutch. I think the dealers are chatching on.

WTF?! Your warranty paperwork said "no tire size change?" What warranty paperwork?? Where in the book does it say that? I just spent $400 on new Eagle F1 275/40/17s and will be buying some new wheels shortly. I got a killer deal on the tires, but it's not going to be worth it until if I can't put them on until 36,000 miles or lose the warranty. Everyone, is this true?

Thats what it says on my paper work. I read it real close before I bought my lid. It didnt say anything about a airfilter change, but I will take it off and put the stock one on if it has to go to the dealer for any reason. Just in case. Dont want to give them a reason to argue with me.
Oops, I better not sound too aggresive or robvas will have to flame me for being a "he-man".
