    Default Will a Cobb Turbo Inlet Pipe void my Mazda extended warranty?

    Hi,

    I'm planning on purchasing a cobb tip. Right now my car has a cp-e cai and a forge bpv v2. I'm planning on getting a cobb tip and then accessport.

    My big question is: will mazda void my warranty if they see the cobb tip? I'm gonna remove the forge bpv and unmarry the ap when I bring it to the dealer. Its much more of a hassle to remove the cobb tip.

    Thx in advance

    The Forge is pretty stealth in itself. If Mazda can prove that the aftermarket part is the root cause of the failure they can deny, that said they may be dicks during the process. There are several fairly mod friendly dealers out there.

    Also, those are the only mods I plan on doing. I have no interest in adding a bigger downpipe. Intercooler or hpfp.

    Use your AP to log your DI pressure (actual) and see how it looks on WOT with your mods. If it's excessively low, then a quality and properly-installed hpfp would be highly recommended for safety (even if you have a gen 1), so you don't go zoom zoom boom. I was reading a thread on msf of someone who was getting like 700 - 800psi with just an OTS stage 1 map with SRI/TIH. Granted, he had a gen 2...but it's still worth checking out.

    It depends on the dealer if they are mod friendly or not. If your scared about modding the car maybe you should not mod period.

    I'm not afraid to mod, just curious to what the dealer may say if I brought the car in with an aftermarket tip. Obviously I would change certain things back to stock parts when bringing car in for warranty work etc.

    Well accessport is instant void...100% gaurenteed. They catch you running an aftermarket tune and you blew up your engine, you're SOL.

    But can't you unmarry it before bringing it to dealer? And fyi, I'm only planning on using a stage 1 tune. Other members seem to think I'll be fine with a stock fuel pump in stage 1

    ...hence why I said "they catch you".

    No one here can tell you without a doubt that they won't be able to detect accessport even after being unmarried.

    Plus if you blow up because of the tune, it's very dishonest to expect them to warranty the engine.

    Dude,

    Just mod the car and when you have to take the car to the stealership just demod it end of story. And if you blow the shit up. Just demod everything and then have the car towed to the stearlership and demand a new engine.

    Because that's honest? That's nearly as bad as insurance fraud.

    If my engine goes boom because I'm running an AP it's my own problem, I don't expect Mazda to cover it.

    What he's saying is if you were in a car accident, your insurance is probably void because of the mods, however would you still let your insurance company replace your car?

    +1. I think we all would.

    Just to add what fast_dude & lokiaparandi have already said, by not informing your insurance of said mods, you have already committed fraud. The rates would be much higher on a modded car.

    I don't think an intake an inlet pipe would mess with the insurance. Unless you modded something huge, then your best interest is to notify them and declare the value of the stuff you put in. If your car got stolen, do you want them to pay you a stock car's value or with your huge mods.

    Considering how much dealerships completely rape the average customer, it's not like they can't afford it
