So what does your warranty cover?

If your headlights fall off, do audi say its because of the exhaust?

At end of day they have to prove your modifcation has voided warranty.

Also many dealers seall aftermarket exhaust with a new car, so do they sell cars with no warranty?

Default cause of an exhaust?

if your engine breaks, you've got bigger problems to worry about than an exhaust

Default Not if AOA refuses to warrant it. It can be a real pain to take them to court to get a reapair...

covered and some dealers will turn down a claim if any type of aftermarket exhaust is used including the Audi sport exhaust. cheers! Mike

Default Theyd probably have a hard time pulling that one off, but it's really dependent on the dealer...

some are great and pay up when they know its obviously an Audi problem and others will deny almost anything when they see a modded car. Ive seen dealers that will refuse to put a car on their hoist because it has lowering springs so NO work gets done on it at all. Just depends on the dealer. No, this isnt supposed to be legal, but when it comes down to it, you're sitting there with a broken car and them not paying for it. FWIW, my car hasnt been to the dealer once for a repair due to these issues. Ive replaced my clutch and several cooling system parts on my own to avoid the hassle of a dealer. cheers! Mike
