Just curious what you know about the Ford warranty and what mods will/will not affect it.  I got my 07' new in Jan 08' and I've only got 20k on it so I still have full warranty coverage.

Specifically I'm looking into getting a Steeda SRI in the near future. 


Thanks!

Mine is an '07 too ... I've had a bit of warranty work done to my car (at two different Ford dealerships) and they haven't seemed to care about the lowered suspension, the heavier sway bars or the MBRP exhaust - and one of my warranty repairs was a replacement steering rack which I sweated a bit because of the suspension work.

Other than the exhaust my approach to performance mods was to go stealth and reversible ... ie: XCal2 - the SRI probably wouldn't cause any problems with the warranty, but on the other hand if you suffered any kind of problem that could be blamed on "poor filtering" you'd be SOL, because if Ford denies a warranty claim you essentially have no recourse.

What I did was balance the reward I'd get from the mod to the risk associated with the repair of a related part that might be deemed out of warranty because of the mod.

I have more to add, but not in this forum ... we can chat Saturday morning.
