Adding Catback - will it cause warranty issues
 

will adding a catback or air intake affect my Scion warranty (other than TRD)?

As long as the dealership isn't an asshole.

No.

Go for it.. You should have no worries with those mods.
For peace of mind, go ask your scion dealer.. I never had an issue
With catback exhaust system and warranty work.. The law is on your side
As well..

Hardly, just keep it street legal with a cat in it and I doubt you'll have issues. Unless you have an issue directly related like melting bumper plastic due to bad fitment, or breaking an exhaust hanger, etc, you'll be just fine.

Talked to my dealership just to be sure, since Subaru can be a little... stingy with their warranties.

They say that unless it's an issue with the actual catback itself, it will not void any other warranty. Seems obvious, but it's good to hear it from the source. They also said that they are more willing to support/have a good attitude toward reputable manufacturers over cheap eBay parts, and that they especially like Invidia and Perrin. They even claimed that they would double check fittings and leaks at each of my regular tuneups.

But who knows how long I'll actually be doing those at the dealership if my hunger for mods keeps increasing like it does.

TRD
 

Go with the TRD version if it concerns you. No warranty issues with that install.

Except if you install it yourself. Only warrantied if Toyota Installs it. I already had issues and toyota said it's not warrantied because I installed it myself.

what issues? cant you just say you got it done at a scion dealer but just lost the papers?

Sorry I thought the thread was for the TRD CAI. I got a bad one and they wouldn't warranty it. But the same goes for any TRD part. It says in their disclaimer that the parts must be installed at the dealership or a company the dealership recommend. You could try to say you lost papers but they wont do anything. What I did was made a claim to my local Better Business Bureau online and in 30 minutes Toyota called m we saying to come pick up my new intake :cool:

That link says this exactly:

"Part failure caused by improper installation by anyone other than an authorized Toyota or Scion dealer may void the TRD Sport Part warranty, the new vehicle warranty or both."

Only warranty that will be affected is the one on the catback. If the exhaust rattles don't expect warranty. If the exhaust pipes crack don't expect warranty.

If your transmission goes out the transmission will be covered. However they may charge extra labor to deal with the aftermarket part in the way.

That is to protect them if you screw up your car during the install and expect them to cover it
