can any one tell me if adding a cold air intake will void my warranty i have a 2006 stang pony package with the 6 cyl.extended warranty up to 100,000,also what is a good intake that i can use

i what i know is correct i believe that it will void your warranty cause you are modifying a part of the engine also dont the 05 and up need a tune with the intake so that would def void warranty.

this is just what i thought i am not completely definite that this is right

It didn't void mine. I got a tune and intake. But I had it done by ford. Call the dealer to be sure...

Dude just put the intake in .. If you need to ever get serviced remove it....

and intake install is as easy as picking you nose if you need help let me know

Honestly, if its not installed by ford and a ford product - it pretty much will. YET, read up on this...

However, this is NO WAY applies an actual fact. This is all opinion I am posting and this is no way what you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT do. I am not responsible for either of those threads and these were just what I found by researching online.

your warranty is voided of what you modify. I.E. if you modify your mufflers, they aren't covered. If you need a new TB and modded your mufflers obviously your TB will still be covered. But remember that each dealership will be different.

And honestly, i doubt your warranty will cover something that breaks anyway, i've never have much faith in those extended warranties. But if you paid the money for it, why spend money and a risk to void something you already spent money on? I'm not trying to sound like a jackass, just sayin...

I brought this up to my ford service dept and they dont consider it to be a modification, also depending on the dealer like mine they dont mind if u have a tuner box as long as u keep it in the car in case they need it.this info was as per the service mgr. I have a k and n it works great on my 6

if you install an intake, and it ingests dirt..ur new motor will not be under warranty. so no, i would have to disagree with the statement above, that only the part that you modify loses its warranty.

If you do decide to get an intake, get a tune too. You will feel the difference.

As stated above, just remove it if the car has to go to the dealer.
