I'd like to simply do some mods now while I can that will aide any future mods I may do when warranty is up, I'm not out for any major power gains yet. I also understand it is less expensive to do all at once but that is 4 years away. Thanks for your input! At least I know now that I could get a cat back system without having a tune if I wanted.

They wont (shouldnt) tell you anything is ok without consequences, if they do and ford rejects a claim it will be put straight back on you then youl put it on them ad itl be a neverending battle. Iv had people take failed parts for forensic analysis and they still got nothing out of ford. If you want to mod dont expect warranty, bottom line.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 9m 21d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 03/01/13 09:34 PM Share Posted 03/01/13 09:34 PM Can a Mazda produce an extra 100kw with just a tune?There's deliberate attempts by Ford to limit the potential of these cars. The aftermarket industry has solved every single one of them. I can't blame them for wanting to keep people honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other factor with mine is that it is actually Allianz the extended warranty is through I'm not sure if they are better or worse. It is not ford as such. I'm still going to go ahead with the minor mods to intake because I'm willing to take the small risk that issues are going to be caused by these parts.

They have the same condition as ford. The intake and air filter is fine to replace, except that those parts are not covered in warranty and any failure as a direct result of that modification will result in claims being denied. I also have to declare any changes for this to be acceptable.Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
