i need to take my car to the dealership to have the TMPS reprogrammed but i have high flow cat will mitsu say any thing ?

 

probably not, as long as the work they are doing is unrelated to the modified part

 

I doubt they even notice.

 

yes.
they will void your warranty and ban you from the dealership.
also they will put your car in there blacklist for other mitsu dealers.

 

They probably won't notice.

 

I assume you are being sarcastic, but in case you aren't... Do you have any evidence or history of this? Links to other threads?

I'm quite sure my Dealership (South Coast, Costa Mesa) would not flag me for an exhaust mod.

OP, if you are unsure... call another dealership anonymously and ask them!

 

I agree with empire...

Car dealerships are super picky about having the OEM catalytic converters on their cars. If the HFC doesn't have a Carb OE number, then it's still illegal. Dealerships don't care if it has a Carb OE number or not. If it's not theirs, it's void.

They even should have had you sign a piece of paper saying that you will in no way tamper with the catalytic converter and emissions system when you were buying your car... This doesn't include cat-backs.

 

I understand that modification of certain components of the car may get you into warranty trouble. But ultimately, the dealership has discretion.

I just don't think someone should make a blanket statement like that without some kind of backing. As I have stated, my dealership (can't speak for all) would not void an entire powertrain warranty for an exhaust modification.

Additionally, I'm not sure the dealership would even raise the car enough to see the cat if they were doing a TPMS change.

 

That contract was Mitsu saying "If you mess with the cat, your warranty is toast." When I was doing my paperwork, I asked what I could do and not void the warranty. They said a lot of things depend on the dealership, but internal engine changes and emissions control systems were Mitsu policy for a voided warranty...

But whatever, don't take my word for it. Like someone said earlier... Call anonymously

 

go to south coast. you are close enough and it will be worth the piece of mind

It would be wiser to replace the high flow cat with your oem cat before taking it into the dealer. You have nothing to lose except 30 mins of your time.

Dealers can come up with such BS things to try and void your warranty, for example : They could state that the high flow cat increases the power on the car and therefore it will put more strain on your entire transmission, they could say the tranny was not built to handle more power. They could literally win a lawsuit with that kind of Bs remark.

Also, you should put the oem cat on just for safety. They could see it, put it in your VIN record, and if you were to have some kind of engine failure later down the road under warranty, they could say some bs and blame it on the HFC. Even if you brought the car in with the oem cat after engine failure, they have under their records that you used to have a HFC.

It's better to be safe then sorry. I come from a nissan world and most of the dealers around here will make up any kind of excuse to void your warranty.

Cannot void, unless part that is in question caused the failure. I.e. Aftermarket clutch and blown trans - they wont do the work on that one.

 

READ BELOW!

For the love of god stop saying they will "void the warranty" if they see you have done anything to it.

 

To reprogram the TPMS the car probably won't even be on a lift. They'll never even noitce.

 

just go to south coast... they are the only dealership i know of that is tuner friendly.. literally!
