I agree... Its just really hard not to be paranoid about it. I just dont see the performance changing much by taking it off. And for me as im still under warranty they would find that delete as a way to deny any kind of engine issue if i ever had a problem and needed warranty work done.....
ive done multiple mods....(lowering springs/exterior/lugs/exhaust on the way) and i still have temp tags. but im a service manager in the automotive industry. im aware of what is a valid argument to void warranty and a horseshit argument.to each their own. they cannot "deny any kind of engine issue" without being able to actually explain how deletion of a resonator caused this. it's NOT a performance thing really, it's a sound thing for many. does not become a "performance thing" until you get flashpro/tune really.
again, there is NOTHING to be paranoid about in terms of hydrolocking the engine with this mod. being concerned about hassle from a dealer is definitely valid though. have you done ANY mods to your car? (this includes stereo, changing to LED bubs anywhere, new wheels, etc not just engine mods) because if so, then they can easily try to say "oh you changed your radio, so that's why the brake lights are blown out" but it is ultimately on the dealership to PROVE that what you did caused the fault/problem. magnusson moss act is a good thing to know when dealing with auto repair under warranty work.
i'm going to stop discussing this because you have clearly turned this into a d*ck measuring contest about "oh look i know more about cars than you do" and wrap this up
you completely missed the point of my post. getting radio/suspension/wheels at cost was not my point. my point was it has to be proven that what you did directly led to the problem at hand. messing with your radio, by your logic, would "void" any warranty on electrical systems in the car, thus what my point was, and deletion of a resonator causes absolutely zero problems with the vehicle unless you are literally under 2+ feet of water, completely submerged, with the vehicle running. i live in the northeast, i have yet to get a single bit of snow up into my resonator, even after our 24"+ of snow a couple of weeks ago.
the reason i even refuted your justification of the "risk" was to allow others to know that whatever risk is involved is EXTREMELY minimal, and if you are sucking water up into that, you have a much bigger problem as your entire front end is under 24"+ of water
33 years experience doesn't mean ****!!! you do know ase certi is easy to fucken get.i also have 3 ASE master technicians that work for me, one with over 33 yrs experience.....im not speaking alone. i assure you.
