Question about mods
Hi, I am thinking of getting a new lancer, but I wanted to know what performance modifications I can do without voiding the warranty. I want to up the horsepower a little bit...10-20hp, that's it. Thanks..

you can do tons of stuff without voiding the warranty, errrr....i fogot what the aftermarket law or some deal is called but im sure hobey will jump on here and give you the name to search for.
go for an exhaust and a cold air intake to start that should get you where you want to go.

intake and exhaust sounds good.

Are mods likely to actually screw anything up? I read a CAI can hydrolock your car...but you have to drive through a LOT of water, so I guess it's not likely. Is it really a risk just driving in the rain?

...Man, that's worse than when people refer to me as "Hobbie".
Anyway, just call me Andrew.Try looking at SEMA.org for the truth about warranties and aftermarket parts. If you really wanna tune your car though you're asking to get hassled at dealerships. Basic intake, header, exhaust mods should grant you 10-20 HP at the crank. They won't exactly make your car wicked fast or anything, but they should fit your needs.
