wpnxrt Member 11 Member For: 13y 9m 12d Posted 06/11/12 01:03 AM Share Posted 06/11/12 01:03 AM Hey guys new to the forums here. I've had my fg 2011 xr6t for a few months now and wanna get an exhaust and tune. I've been told if I do this I will have to get a new cooler cos the standard plastic tanks won't last. Also been told I would need cold air intake aswell but don't wanna void my warranty.Ive asked around everywhere and keep getting different answers.Cheers people!

So far with my BA - no major engine issues that I'm aware of. So maybe wait a bit until you're a bit happier and feel things are sorted with your car since it sounds like you've only had it a short while.Having said that - you can get custom tunes that don't take your car to the limit of its current hardware but are still better than the stock tune. But it's pretty black and white with your warranty as far as Ford are concerned. I've also heard Ford can detect now when a custom tune has been used in a FG. Didn't worry me with my BA - when I got it - it was out of warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpnxrt Member 11 Member For: 13y 9m 12d Posted 07/11/12 12:55 AM Author Share Posted 07/11/12 12:55 AM Thanks for the advice guys. Yeh ford told me an exhaust wont void warranty but a flash tune will but u can put the tune back to stock if u need to take it to them. any mod that causes a problem wont be covered sounds about right.
