You need to report them to SEMA. Because......
they are basically robbing you, and others with such false information.<ul><li><a href="http://www.enjoythedrive.com/content/?id=8124">http://www.enjoythedrive.com/content/?id=8124</a</li></ul>

Short answer is his dealer isnt paying out for crap on his car if he gets the exhaust...
not legal, but perfectly doable. The cost of court and an attorney will likely outweigh the cost of an independent repair facility. I have been a proud member of the voided warranty club since 15K miles. cheers! Mike

I want a S4, but I refuse to be treated like a bitch by Audi and the dealer.

How much will it cost me to replace the 3.0TFFSI or DCT?
How much rwhp will both be able to take if replaced at those costs?
Sorry, but the fact that a $50k Audi can't be warrantied wih a tune and exhaust is pathetic and supports the common understanding that Audi is unreliable and expensive to maintain.
I have NEVER had a failure, let alone a warranty issues, with any of my Corvettes with tune and exhaust.
Remember, I went to the Audi dealer with full intention of buying a S4.

Agreed.....when I can add an ADDITIONAL TWO HUNDRED+ HORSEPOWER with with a $5000 longblock that will be RELIABLE at 900rwhp level.

I waited about 3 years to put the software on mine and there was only 15,000 miles left on the warranty anyway. I track the hell out of the car and nothing is wrong. You just have to be smart and do preventative maintenance on an accelerated schedule.

The dealer should prove first that the cause of a problem is brought by the installed aftermarket exhaust before they can void certain warranty claim. See the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.
