Fluxes Member 3 Member For: 14y 7m 21d Gender: Male Posted 18/09/10 10:33 AM Share Posted 18/09/10 10:33 AM What mods if any can I make to my FG XR6T without voiding the factory warranty? I'd like to replace the CAT's but hear that I'd need to re-map the computer after that. I'd also like to replace the air intake and filter. I'm happy to wait a few years to do anything else.

Fluxes Member 3 Member For: 14y 7m 21d Gender: Male Posted 18/09/10 07:51 PM Author Share Posted 18/09/10 07:51 PM Thanks for the replies. I put a K&N filter in pretty much the week I brought the car home, I was wanting to go for a 3rd party intake like the Growler from SS Inductions. The intake I have strikes me as a bit silly. I'll definitely look into the F6 system, other than that I will continue to be happy with the car as it is for a few more at lest.

Posted 19/09/10 12:21 AM Share Posted 19/09/10 12:21 AM (edited) the secondary intake on the BF F6 doesnt exist anymore due to the FG not having the cutout behind the headlight so there is no longer a high pressure point there for good results in air flow,each to their own but I see it as a waste of time on the FG,get a FG GT airbox (twice the size) and a K&N which will NOT void your warranty,good luck Edited 19/09/10 12:23 AM by Ricks_Xr6t Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70604-what-can-i-do-to-my-fg-xr6t-without-voiding-the-warranty/#findComment-1041258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

INASNT Member 361 Member For: 18y 7m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/09/10 11:25 PM Share Posted 19/09/10 11:25 PM What about taking car back for ford recall work like the rear diff bushses on the FG. Will they try and get out of replacing their forkup if you have tune etc?
