Dr Mike Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I want to cat-back my exhaust to duals like on the Auto Show SS but worried about warranty issues. Please read on reply from GM, Any Suggestions.... Dr Mike Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding your desire to modify the exhaust on your new 2003 Silverado. General Motors' vehicles are designed and tested to meet our standards for performance and quality, as well as all government regulations pertaining to fuel economy, vehicle emissions and motor vehicle safety. We do not recommend any deviation from the factory design and construction of our product, as these changes may adversely affect the safety and performance of the vehicle, as well as the terms of the warranty. Please discuss legal compliance and warranty coverage concerning the intended alteration directly with the vendor involved. No vendor has the authority to create or alter our New Vehicle Limited Warranty, as provided with each new vehicle. Should you wish to proceed with a modification, we should clarify that warranty claims will not be refused simply because an alteration was performed to the vehicle. If a malfunction occurs, General Motors will require that we complete a diagnosis to determine whether the alteration affected the performance and reliability of the vehicle or any of its components. If the diagnosis reveals that the failure was not the result of a factory defect in material or workmanship, but was related to the modification performed, required repairs will not be covered by the warranty. Thank you for contacting General Motors of Canada Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I wouldn't worry too much about it. What's the chance that the repair you may need would be due to a catback system? I may be wrong, but I think the chances are pretty slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEAR M UP Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Exhaust like Corsa is "Official Licensed Product", if you have it installed by a GM dealer, I would bet you wont have any problems. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 that is correct, if corsa is installed by a chevy dealer it is still covered by warrenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
