It will void your exhaust warranty....if they tell you otherwise go to another dealership.

I had full headers and exhaust on my 02 SS camaro and the dealer said NOTHING. There were also other mods and it was fine with them.

Check out this link. I found it about a year ago when I was worried about voiding my warranty by putting on bigger tires and idfferent rims. Click on the warranty issues and bill of rights link on the left side. A lot of good info. http://www.semasan.com/

I thought as long as you didn't mess with the cats then it did not void the warranty.....

You can replace the cats as well, you just can't take them out and put a straight pipe in it's place. Alot of MFGs sell high flow cats to replace the OEM cats

I just got off the phone with the dealership and was informed that it will not affect my warranty. It's time to get some dual flowmasters put on!!!!! Thanks for all the replys.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Figured Ford would try to blame stuff on the new cats. Good info to know. Thanks!

It is "technically" a federal offense to remove a working catalytic convertor. It doesnt matter if it is replaced with a high flow unit or not. Ive run high flows in the past, without issues. If you do alter the cat/Y pipe, the warranty will be voided. If you merely change out the catback, you are in the clear.
