09 Vette cold air intake and exhaust
Hello
I stopped in at the chvey dealer where I just bought my 09 Vette and asked them about SLP loundmouth exhaust and K/N cold air intake for my vette.
The dealership said that it would void warranties on the engine and exhaust system if I installed these non GM approved components on my new Vette. They said that I had to go to a GM dealership that carries and installs GM approved high performance components for vettes to maintain my vettes warranty.
What experiences has anyone had in regards to replacing intakes and exhaust VS. issues with thier vette after these components were installed and the dealer not overing any warranty claims?
Thanks

I was told a K&N air inTAKE WOULD NOT VOID MY WARRENTY,BY A CHEVY DEALER IN vIRGINIA.bUT IN MY OPINION THE STOCK AIR INTAKE IS JUST AS GOOD OR MAYBE BETTER. I think it is a waste of money. But if it is installed it does not void warrenty.As for the exhaust I dont know.

If you plan on going to that particular dealership, I wouldn't do it and I'd go with one of the GM approved aftermarket exhausts. But most people have not had problems with just exhaust and and CAI.
BTW, I have the Loudmouth system and it's awesome

IMHO, They gave you there honest anwswer... Now you have to decide if it is worth it to you. I was in your shoes 2 months ago, and I decided to go ahead and mod it cause I am not use to having warrentees. If it breaks I figure I will just fix it myself.
If your unable to fix it yourself or at least pay someone to fix it I would not do it.
