Mod Friendly Dealer?
Hello guys,
I'm from North NJ and just bought my first vette, an 08Z. It is a CPO which means it comes with a warranty. It is awfully quiet and I would like to know if anyone had experience with any mod-friendly dealers in the north jersey area so that I could get a catback and intake (at least!) without voiding the warranty.
Paramus Chevy is right by me but they wouldn't even warranty a leaking differential that was still under powertrain warranty on a bone-stock car!
I don't even wanna waste my time trying them. Any input?

As far as I know and CAI and a cat-back won't effect your warranty as long as the problem isn't tied to the mods. (like a mass air code) Dealers generally frown upon modded cars though.

Dear sir, we will not warranty your car due to the fact you put a n aftermarket cat back exhaust on it......said the service writer about three seconds before I punched him in the teeth.

Try calling Norman Gale GMC in Cedar Knolls @ 973-267-1100. Manager's name is Steve. Ask him if he can help, he tracks a C5 Z06. Very Vette friendly dealership, even though they are not Chevy, they will work on older Vettes. Dealer owner has a C7 Z51 on order. Near Morristown, NJ. They even work on much older cars, a customer even brings his 1948 Buick convertible for service and repairs. One of the few dealers where they actually know anything about cars.

The genius on the phone couldn't give me straight answer... this was on a z06 that I almost bought that had the above issue
