reechii · 12-21-2011, 08:22 PM

I had after market exhaust before and now weld the stock mufflers back on, will dealer still void my warranty?

Exhaust should not void your warranty especially OEM.

You down with OPP????

YEAH YOU KNOW ME!!!!

If you're going to ignore responses and answer your own question, why ask it?

AFTERMARKET parts can void sections of your warranty IF they deem it caused a failure. A weld at the end of the exhaust piping holding a stock muffler on shouldn't be any cause for alarm.

reechii · 12-21-2011, 11:22 PM

how about something related to turbo?

Bimmer84 · 12-21-2011, 11:31 PM

The answer is no. If you ask something else, it will still be no. If you don't want our answers, go ask your dealership.

reechii · 12-22-2011, 12:30 AM

because dealership claims that my muffler was modified before, so that will not cover my engine bay stuff

RnmEvo9 · 12-22-2011, 12:37 AM

Voided warranty!

JStang · 12-22-2011, 09:03 AM

They cannot just void your warranty unless it is determined that it caused a problem. Just use the clamps that BMW provides. That's what they do if they need to replace the mufflers.

Orion4 · 12-22-2011, 09:58 AM

Sounds like in a round about way the OP is saying he has a problem with his turbos and dealers is /or might say his modded exhaust caused the problem. If they have already sighted the issue and setup, replacing the mufflers now will not change the status (after the fact)- that is, if are claiming it caused the problem.

What is the full, complete story behind your questions. We cant give you any reasonable response by doing this piece-meal.

soulja620 · 12-22-2011, 06:12 PM

Weld em back on, and go to a diff dealership

zerep1 · 12-22-2011, 06:34 PM

As long as you didnt remove any catalytic converters your fine and should go to BMW na if the deny warranty

reechii · 12-23-2011, 11:25 AM

the bmw dealer that the car was purchased from knew that the car had aftermarket exhaust before and although now already back to stock exhaust, they said welding was included so they not gonna cover the car anymore.Also they cant cpo this car anymore in the future. Is there anybody can help me?

Brey335i · 12-23-2011, 11:42 AM

I would go to a different dealership...I just had my turbo's replaced and 6 injectors(recall) under warranty with DP, full custom exhaust with 2nd cat deleted. What part of the warranty are they telling you is voided? if you are claiming warranty work for your exhaust, then it would be safe to say you're exhaust warranty is voided..Ultimately go to another dealer.

hotrod182 · 12-23-2011, 02:13 PM

Also depends if they flagged your warranty. If so, going to a different dealeship will not help gain coverage.

JDrillingJ · 12-23-2011, 03:46 PM

They haven't voided mine...

Beemw335 · 12-23-2011, 05:37 PM

No offense op but do you blame them?
Who wants to buy a certified pre owned car and see that some idiot cut off the mufflers and rewelded them back on??

reechii · 12-24-2011, 10:41 AM

where to check the warranty status?

Beemw335 · 12-24-2011, 11:35 AM

^ go to new dealer shut your mouth about what happened to u at other dealer.
And try to get some warranty work done and obviously have your stock mufflers on.
If questioned, say the you got rear ended and had to replace the mufflers so maybe the garage welded in new ones ?? And always play dumb lol

reechii · 12-24-2011, 11:02 PM

Its kinda weird because they said i drove the car fast so if anything happens related to transmission, they may not cover it
