Default YO! NEED SOME HELP....!

I have an automatic C5, had it about a month and a half. Should I do "mods", and if so, what would I work on first? :confused: Would I get in trouble with the "warranty police"...? Should I even do any? :confused: Ain't got a clue! HELP!

peace out....

"C5 SOUTHSI-I-I-DE!"

your friendly southside president,

"True" :seeya

Your entire warranty cannot be voided under federal law. However anything that an aftermarket part directly effects is subject to a warrnty claim denial. For instance, if you modify the engine, and the tranny blows up, it could be said that it was directly related. But if your window motor goes out and you have a modded engine, they must cover the window motor.

Most dealers are fine with headers, aftermarket air intakes. Some are more liberal than others about major mods.

I would start with a cold air intake box, exhausts for looks and sound, then headers or torque converter from there.
