No, they won't....

Turbo systems are designed to operate with a fixed amount of backpressure, which is used to prevent turbo overspin. Eliminating the backpressure can cause overspin, and thus turbo damage. This would be easily proved in court, and at least one firm who specializes in turbocharger systems has verified that catbacks are potentially harmful to turbo systems on their site (see link below).<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/860992.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/860992.phtml</a</li></ul>

Make sure not to put aftermarket air your tires, either!

well i have a good relationship with mine.

Is it a BAD idea to ask them what they think of an aftermarket exhaust? I mean its not like i could get one, and then not tell them about it

Did any of you read this snippet: "damage caused by the installation of non-genuine Audi parts"??

That means that they know that they legally have to prove that the damage was CAUSED by the parts you installed. They can't legally say "You have a chip therefore your warranty is void". That is illegal, immoral and complete bull****.

However, dealers do it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Mine did it to me and because of it I will never set foot in any of the 10+ dealers that are part of that "auto group". And I will be calling a lawyer as soon as I get them to send me that in writing (if they have the ***** to do so!).
