anyone know what the penalties are for putting on a aftermarket muffler on a lease pickup?

 

read the lease you signed. most say you can't modify the leased vehicle or fines will be added at time of lease end.

 

I would think, as long as you can return it to OEM equipment at the end of the lease, it wouldn't matter.

 

i returned my truck with dual mufflers, straight piped, aftermarket front bumper. no penatlies. no fees, nothing!

 

Why waste money on a vehicle you don't own!

 

400 bucks? who cares, worth it if you got to drive it for a couple yrs, i love my exhaust. way more fun to drive

 

i'm w/ kevin here. why pour money into something you dont own? i know, iknow its just $400 but dang thats alot of money to give away these days. for a couple of years? thats like $200 a year for some verooom, verooom. i dont think so.

 

200 a yr? dont go out two nights of drinking a yr, paid for

 

I love how some justify things! It just adds to the total out of pocket you are spending with the end result of not having a thing! If you own it and hold on to it past the payoff its just money over the total ownership of the vehicle, which will result in less out of pocket since you will eventually sell the vehicle. It could help selling as a private indiividual then just turning back in! Lets see $400 in an investment account after 25years, think the payoff will be a whole lor better then just throwing it into an unowned vehicle. Come to think of it $400 into an investment account even if you do own the vehicle could yield a pretty good return!

 

my lease payment is a right off, so was the exhaust. I need write offs to lower my taxable income

 

Hmm lets see even if you can, which I have not seen any IRS ruling allowing you to, but if you do you $400 will give about additional $60 off your taxable income! Think $400 in an investment account will provide a lot more than $60 gain over the long haul!

 

i am from canada. that 400 dollars gives me 400 dollars off my taxable income its a full 100 percent write off. i have lots of money, dont u worry what i spend it on. I have lots invested too

 

I would not do it...

Put your money into an Edge tuner...

Hey Dynocompe...

If you need a tax write off, how about listing me as one of your charities. Toss some of that "lot's of money" my way...

 

why would, but kevin has convinced me i am wasting my money, so i cant now

 

I did it on an 01 I leased. If adding an exhaust helps you enjoy the truck during the period more, go for it!
