I bought a K&N from my M Dealership for around 200. and since i bought it from the parts department it will not void warrenty.
Turbo timer and Mbc or Ebc. will void warrenty.
Kinda stinks im tired of smoking a cig for my car to unwind everytime i get out of the darnd thing

Don't worry about the warranty, they'll find a way to not cover it anyways...might as well enjoy your car and make it how you want.

my service guy at the mitsubishi dealer actually recommended that I get a turbo timer...said no it won't void the warranty. And this is from a VERY mod unfriendly dealership...so mainly depends on dealership.

Actually an intake can alter air/fuel ratio, so I heard that it would void warranty....
