Borla Cat Back and Nissan Issues?

DooDooBrown · 08-22-2009, 08:35 PM

Hi all, I am the proud new owner of a Z, and am trying to do some research as to whether or not me putting on a Borla exhaust system will void my factory warranty?? I have tried doing a search, but nothing! Thanks to all that can help!

putting any aftermarket part on any car will void your warrenty IF it causes the problem u need work on. For example. I had a 2007 Cobalt SS Supercharged. I had a Injen Cold Air Intake. For some reason my reverse lights wouldnt turn on when i went into reverse. Brought it to the dealership, they said the switch box is broken and thats what turns the lights on. They said i wouldnt be covered under warrenty because of aftermarket intake. They tried to ******** me which 99% of dealerships will do. I said "warrenty is only voided if the aftermarket part causes the problem" they said "that is true" i said "well tell me how a intake causes reverse lights not to come on"...they then covered the repaires under warrenty.

So yes u can put a borla exhaust system on your Z...but if something breaks on your car and it is caused by the exhaust, your warrenty will be voided, if its not caused by the exhaust then you are fine.

The service writers at dealerships crack me up sometimes.....

Now if you installed aftermarket springs and your shocks went bad, that's a different story. But an intake causing reverse lights to break?
