I know what I suggested is lying.
What I meant was that he COULD do that, but I personally don't recommend it.

I don't condone lying.

Besides, with how subaru is being with these cars, I wouldn't give them any more reason to void your warranty. The K&N according to them means that you are "highly modified" and participating in racing events.

Sadly, just one of the "joys" of DIY. Good news is that you probably won't make the same mistake again. :happy0180:

really because what you're doing is any different your complaining and ranting and repeatedly posting back at mav1178. for something you're doing as well. you are insulting him so take your own advice because no one cares what you have to say on this post, and your knowledge of warranty's is pathetic.

How intelligent we are as humans to call each others anus's dumb.

3 pages (51 replies) of comments revolving around a yes/no question. I'd venture out and say "not much". Also, it was probably unhelpful to OP.

@epistome, I think if you haven't purchased a new box yet, you should let @Bg8780 help you out. He embodies the true spirit of a forum.

Extremely unhelpful and unintelligent. Thankfully, alot of people here have there old stock airbox from a CAI swap and can probably give him it.

My apologies for the unintelligent reply to his question of "will Toyota warranty my own mechanical mistake".

While we are at it, please let mods know about banning cuss words from this forum in general. That'll solve all the problems.

FWIW, I answered his question bluntly. I was more unhappy about the way the question was worded, because there was a clear lack of understanding of what a warranty actually is.

This is not a sales/refund policy, and if the dealer wants to replace it on their dime, that's at their perogative. The question revolved around warranty, and in the context of owners getting shafted because of mods, the last thing you want to see in public domain are FRS/BRZ owners asking if unintentional broken parts are covered under warranty.

In any case, my apologies for being "unhelpful and unintelligent".
