Magnuson TVS 2300 Warranty

I've read, in several threads, that for 300+ dollars you can actually buy a drive train warranty from MAGNUSON, so I have a few questions about this warranty.

1. How does it work?
2. What does it cover?
3. If something happens, who do I call?

THANKS!!!

It would also be great to find out how many people have actually used it. From what I understand, when you buy the warranty with it, you can not change anything at all. Not only on the blower or the tune, but you are not allowed to add or delete anything from the car. So no headers, no cat backs, no nothing. Hopefully magnacharger will come in and confirm wether that is correct or not.

Most shops will tell you it's worthless... Too many loopholes...

The problem is that you will have to deal with an insurance company, not magnusson or vortech, etc.
The blower has to be installed by authorized shops and you have to have all the services (oil changes, etc) at a GM dealer or at least at the same shop that did the installation.
And since you are dealing with an insurance company there are a lot of things that will void this warranty (exhaust, gears, etc).

And the most important part (at least for us with Non-US car) the warranty is only for US cars.

It might help if a magnacharger or vortech shop explain the warranty at full, since Im not sure that all of the info (above) is true..
