upgrading exhaust without voiding warranty?

[Zooks527]

Read the Magnusson-Moss act.

Magnusson-Moss is irrelevant. This is a 3rd party service contract provided by the dealer, not a manufacturer's warranty. The specific clauses of the contract itself are what count. They could have a clause voiding it for eating Doritos in the passenger's seat if they wish.

The OP should read the paperwork he received. That's the determiner, not internet opinion.

I just don’t want to give Ford any reason not to warranty something down the road.

The only sane thing to do in this instance is don't F with it.

I had the dealership I bought my Accord from try to get me to have them tune it with Hondata and they said I would keep my factory warranty even with the Stage 2 tune. Seemed like a good idea, but I don't get the tuning device. Besides, it's just my daily driver. I'm sure there were some stipulations with it.

Read the fine print on that "lifetime warranty". It is not a Ford supported warranty it is a 3rd party warranty. A lot of these dealer warranties have many requirements beyond just having the car. They typically require you to complete any service the dealership recommends, regardless if it is part of the Ford recommended service plan.

If you take the care in and they recommend a fuel injector cleaning/service at 15k miles and you don't do it then the warranty can be voided. If you are heck bent on keeping that warranty get it and read it line for line and understand it. Based off of your post it is clear you don't understand it.

Here’s what the website states about what can void the warranty. https://www.fordofmurfreesboro.com/lifetime-warranty.html

This sounds like a trap to get your car into the service department for oil changes and bullshit you don't need so they can profit at the risk of saying, "Nothing is going to happen to your car". The power train is honestly the least of my worries with the Coyote as you can see by my mods.

There’s nothing that says that you have to do any service with their department. Just that you have to do the recommended service in your manual.

Here’s the warranty certificate for anyone that might be curious.

Buy a Ford Performance X Pipe and have the dealer install it.
