Decision on exhaust / warrenty?
Hi Guy,
Trading in my a/t for a 6s come monday morning!
My first concern is if I put an exhaust and intake system will the warrenty still be valid?
Which sounds more powerful? Borla or greddy? Please provide links if any!
I'm looking to spend about or under $1000 including install (if possible).
Please give me some advise!
Kind Regards,
Monte

Ok warr. You need to speack with the head guy at service, he decides at the end about warr being broke or not. My bud owns the mazda dealer here so thats how I know the rules. Ok, if I add exhaust and it breaks then it's my problem. but everything else on my car is under warr. now is when it gets fun, if your motor breaks and the service guy says that the motor broke B/C you added exhaust then it's not under warr. But everyone knows that that is not the case with exhaust. But when you alter the intake with an aftermarket kit it is easyer for the service guys to blame the intack for the falure in the motor, which cut's your warr out. before I mod anything on my 8 I had a good talk with the head of service and lucky for me he's into moding rx-8's and loves to see people working on them(not for the bad reason), so before any upgrade I ask him if it would be a big deal and he tells me weather im safe or playing with fire. Make it like the good old day when you actualy knew the guys name that was working on your car, you end up getting better service for it. YOU ARE NO LONGER A CUSTOMER BUT A PAL.

I purchased the Greddy from my local tuner shop. They gave me a good deal. O yhea I LOVE MY GREDDY!!!!!!! When I saw the 4 inch tips I was scared that it would be to loud. But no way man, it's perfect. On the interstate it sounds almost stock when you want it to and strong when you want it. The internet vids sounds nothing like the real thing.

depends on the dealer and what is broken. if the dealer can prove that your intake/exhaust caused the issue, then that Mass-Magsun (or whatever its called ) Act wont help you. Example: You add an intake and exhaust and your Bose Radio dies, they will need to replace it under warranty since i cant see them proving one caused the other. Now if your cat. converter died, they could easily prove (i.e. ask an engineer) that the intake/exhaust had an adverse affect on your cat. temps. As for what type of exhaust, do a search. the exhaust question has been beat to death.
