I have one, and the dealer even put it on for me, dosen't remove any cat so the dealer won't really care. and yes it looks nice because of the lack of a fart cannon. The only thing that dealers care about is if the mod changes the longevity of the vehicle or the fuel consumption, such as a turbo

actually if there's a problem, the dealership will void your warranty if that is the source of the problem.and it actually does take out the second cat if it replaces the stock mid pipe

I believe that the exhaust is cut off 3 inchs after the second cat, thus making it fifty state legal, its not a direct replacement.

around here its ok when it comes to noise, but back to topic, yeah you'll like the quailty, the sound, the OEM look of the exhaust. If your looking for an obnoxiously loud exhaust this isn't for you, but the sound is definitly noticable its a nice low growl.

I'm surprised they installed it for you though, the Toyota i work at wouldn't touch it, they'd install a TRD Axelback though.

yeah they also gave me a quote for putting on my hotchkis springs last summer, They charged a little more than midas but they did a quailty job, also around here people will bring 1000 hp supras to get there oil changed, thats one of the few pros to living in Wisconsin, you can register your vehicle to a different county were they don't emissions test, like they do in Milwaukee.

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.........look it up....read it...it will answer your question.


To quickly answer your question..NOOOOO it will NOT void your warranty UNLESS it is the sole purpose of a malfunction .
