so if i go to the dealer for my oil changes or whatever will they say anything about my intake? or is it none of their business? i just don't want to get in trouble.!

They can't say anything about it.

The only way it can void the warranty is if they can prove that it directly caused any problems that are happening with the car.

my dealer said that I could do anything I wanted befor the throttle body and anything after the last cat. That means CAI and a cat back and all is good.

They wiol never say anything until you go with to them with a problem. you have to be careful sometimes cause they will try to blame the problem on the mod. Don't let them Fuc* you over!

That happened to me once when they tried blaming a drained battery on my NGK Ignition Wires! What do they take me for???

That reminds me of when i had my cat-back put on. The first shop i went to was owned by two older guys. When i asked if they could run a catback and put on my muffler they said "Is is one of those loud stainless steel mufflers?" I said "yea" and the one guy looked at the other and chuckled. I told them to foget it and left.

The dealer doesn't give me any grief about any of that. I have had a new catalytic converter installed when one of my coil packs went out and the engine dumped gas into the cat, causing the cat to clog up. I was afraid the dealer would void my warranty because of my exhaust, but it didn't. I have however heard horror stories about the hyundai dealers.

Eddie Mercer Hyundai in pensacola, fl are pretty cool, they switched out my alt twice for me ( I knew the problem was really mine, at one point i had probly more powere going to the trunk of my car then in the front of my car) I have 4 700watt amps pushing 12's in the back, it sucked so much juice that while driving a bass note hit and it blew my headlights and the (Air Bag) and Check Engine lights came on.

Took it to the dealership and they knew what had happened but swaped me a new alt. 2nd time i let the lot boy we have here was my car and he got water in the alt, i took it back to the dealership and they swaped it out again.
