Does anyone know if i install a SI sway bar my self on my EX that it will void the warrenty or extended warrenty. I know it say will not cover any non honda part but does this technically count as a mod??????

I'd say if you had a problem with your suspension after installing a sway bar from another model/trim, the dealer would probably give you a puzzled look as they told you that you've modified your suspension, fork up some dough if you want us to fix it. If you had a problem with your A/C, they wouldn't have much reason to begin looking at your suspension let alone blame it on the mod.

If you were to run into issues after doing this mod, then you could use that as an excuse to upgrade the rest of your suspension.

Kool thanks. That makes sense. I only asked cuz i heard a lot of dealership are doing a lot of foul things to void your warrenty. Like instilling a carbon fiber hood and changing out your rims. I was thinking about having the dealership install it for me, that way they cant say nothing if something were to happen. You think that they would notice if i kept replacing the bar every time i go to the dealership?

The great thing about Hondas/Acuras is they're modular. To be honest, if you're using OEM parts, 9 out of 10 dealers would never even know you swapped them....

If you don't tell them, of course...

I have read elsewhere the MM Act does not cover the extended portion of the warranty and it may be voided for any aftermarket part, ragardless of contribution. MM act extends to the factory warranty only.

Didn't you post about this somewhere, skittles?
