Scam? Andy Mabutol sounds like a name that a scam artist comes up with.

I got the letter about 6 months after I got my evo, but the exhaust system was so different and I didn't want to give up my car so I just threw it away

Wait a min, lemme get this straight...

They want my car, for X number of days, and I get to drive a POS rental? And what do I get out of it? Nothing?

HAHAHA, right.

Find another lab rat.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
This is for real. They tested my mothers Galant for emissions. The EPA lab is located in Ann Arbor. They tested her car, and all was correct, gave it back and 150 bucks. Debbie Miller was who she talked to. They really wanted my car - I laughed and said no thanks, they still presisted (I guess not too many Evos have gone through it), I told her on the phone - look, I have an aftermarket exhaust, I will not pass the EPA test, and no I dont want that fixed.

No one but me, my brother, and my mechanic drives my car. Exp. not some engineering lugheads I dont know, and I am not watching. The damage they could cause would be well over the 150 they pay you.

Trust no one.

rofl.... i'm sure this is a huge scam by mitsubishi to weed out anyone with modified vehicles so they can just mark you down as having "no warranty".

I'd only do it if they cut me a check for $5000 which i would put away for any future issues they wont cover due to my voided warranty.

.... morons.
