I have had my dealer install the mazdaspeed exhaust and an f2 cai on my 07 3i. They said that because they were doing the work, it wouldnt void my warranty. Has anyone else had their dealer install parts? And if so, how did things go with your warranty?
For Mazda to void your warranty, they would need to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that your mod was the direct cause of the failure. I hate when dealers say aftermarket parts will void your warranty. Don't pay any mind to their scare tactics.
Yes, but it depends on what aftermarket mod you have. It won't void the warranty on the whole car.
For example, I recently went to the dealer for some work, but since I have lowering springs put in it voided my suspension warranty and I paid an arm and a leg for the work.
Its your call if you want to take the risk.
the only way your warranty is voided is if that particular part voided your warranty which the dealer has to prove.
if i put a turbo on my car and throw a rod and take it to mazda, they will void my warranty since the hp from the turbo most likely caused me to throw a rod.
now if i threw a rod and all i have is an exhaust and intake, then they have to fix my car since those two mods aren't enough to cause me to throw a rod.

dealer took one look at my AEM CAI and told me my whole engine warranty was void.....good luck

then report them to mazda corporate and go to another dealership. they can not void your warranty b/c of an intake.
print the magnuson-moss act and tell them to go read it.
