Default will this void my warranty?

if i install a borla axleback does that void my warranty?

i could always keep the stock one to put back on when i have to go in for my 5K and 10K checkups.

Edit: In case anyone who sees this thread is too lazy to click the link, lol, here is the basic idea...the dealer can't void your warranty UNLESS the aftermarket part is what caused the problem.

Ex: the dealer can't void your warranty if you install the exhaust and your steering wheel falls off...

you'll be fine. go to one dealer for everything, then if you get a prob, take off the exhaust, put the stock one on and go to a diff. dealer that doesn't know your car.

Man my dealership calls me and asks when I am coming in again so they can check out whatever new thing I have modded.Rare yes,but they are really cool.this week I have to take car in to let them see the new suede......lol......and exhaust.......

But basically it is not going to void the warrenty.....I go into the dealership with my shirt on that Scion gave us at Exposed that says Modify or die.......most bolt on items when installed correctly will not break anything on a car.

In all my years I have never seen a dealership do warrenty repairs on brakes,suspension,exhaust.They are all wear and tear items and hard to get them to work on them.

Not only will it void your warranty, but your airbags will go off after 1,812 miles.

eh i still say dealers can give you the run around though so be careful and stick to one. i went to the dealer i always go to to have them look into my transmission (grinding 2-3rd gear) and they blamed it on the CAI! the grinding does not come from the engine bay.......

I10 Toyota told me my warranty was void due to having my Scangauge II plugged in, HID's in the projectors and aftermarket fogs (APT). Good thing all I was there for is my free oil change.

^^i agree about the dealer point. i think it all depends how u approach them in service. i see half the people here with a bunch of aftermarket and they do it as if its not there and some that they wont even touch the car.
