Will Toyota honor "exhaust" defect (warranty) if modded?

i think if you sat down and thought about it.... you'd answer your question.


if you remove the stock header, and put on an aftermarket one, do you think toyota would provide you a warranty for your aftermarket part?

also, you will void your o2 sensor warranty with aftermarket parts.

agreed, dealerships love aftermarket parts cause they can always blame your mods if need be

Yeah, but you can't expect dealers to replace something that you've already replaced! About the only way they'll do that is if you had to fix it prior to the recall/TSB. But you'd have to have records showing that the item that was identified in the recall/TSB had failed, not that you simply decided to swap/mod it out yourself!
