Default Mods with warranty!

Anybody know what ( if any) engine mods can be done without worrying about voiding my warranty?

Only things I have done are a Blackwing and cat back exhaust. May want to feel out your dealer and see just how mod friendly they are.

So much depends on the dealers' attitude and of course on what might be broken.

Check around your area for a dealership that supports the Corvette community -- some dealers even have a Corvette specialist or go-to service advisor. Find that dealership and chances are that if your car is modestly modded and well kept, they're not going to give you problems on reasonable warranty work.

remember to be denied there needs to be a direct relationship to the part you modded and the failure that you are trying to get warrantied. If your engine blows, but you only changed the cat-back exhaust they would still have to cover it.

Oh and I agree a mod friendly service tech helps....
