Not so !.....If installed correctly and wired so as not to interfere with the OEM wiring scheme and performance ..... It may viod specific repairs if say "it was found to be wired into the wrong port on the ECM" or something else dumb that caused other issues other then what it is designed for. Many people do not know how difficult it is for a manufacturer to void warranties as long as the modification did not put additional requirement over and above it performance capability and it is installed to reasonable standards.
Your clutch blows up on a burnout. The service rep says it failed becuase your exhaust, tuning, and air box mods bumped the power up to much (say 60 lb/ft) and the clutch couldnt handle it the extra torque.
I can bet that the LS3 clutch design and material make up is actually capable of say 550 lb/ft torque and if you are knowledgable about that kind of thing you can challenge the service rep on it!
You go to the chev service center cause your alternator is burnt out. The rep says that cause you added extra stereo equipment the warranty is void. Well if your Amp can only pump 120 amps and you added equipment that with all of your vehicle's amperage requiement was drawing more then 120 Amps ......then the warranty would be void.
The other issue is that if you do not have the proof in front of you it can be costly to challenge the maunfacturer in court and they know it. Call them up first and speak to the right technician about the mod you are considering , you may be suprised !!
