Default anyone have a problem in their s4 because of

their miltek exhaust or hyperflow...
it can be a problem, audi couldn't link to the hyperflow but then you secretly know that was the cause or any sort of that..
need to make final decision on hyperflow and I really want to do it if the warranty won't leave on me..thanks

Default If your really worried about the hyperflow, it's a quick install and uninstall, so you can always...

take it out and go back to stock before you bring it to the dealer.

I wouldn't worry about the exhaust at all.

Default Will catback exhaust void powertrain......

Dealer tells me catback exhaust will void powertrain warranty even if they cant link engine problem to exhaust....

aftermarket exhausts = Void powertrain warranty

Doesnt sound right.

Default NO, but as always, ASK YOUR DEALER/Service mgr.

and be descreet about it.

some do, some don't

me I don't care, if they can somehow link a problem with my car's engine to an exhaust,

then I think my plight of selling swampland in florida is a surrrre thing! LOL...

Default If the dealership wants to void your warranty, they will find something. Just an exhaust should....

be fine though.

At the end of the day the burden of proof is on them, but with downpipes and turbo upgrades (B5) it makes it easier for them.

My Audi rep told me to get an aftermarket ehaust and Short Shifter.

Just call your dealer, anonymously, and ask what their policy is. If they say don't get an exhaust, chances are another dealership in the area will be OK with it.
