Will an aftermarket exhaust void my Ford’s warranty?
I want to straight pipe my Mustang but it’s still under warranty. Will installing an aftermarket exhaust void a Ford warranty?

While you’re right to be concerned, an aftermarket exhaust will not void a Ford warranty. There are gray areas, though.
If your Ford’s exhaust was covered by the factory warranty, the exhaust will no longer be covered if you choose to replace it with an aftermarket part. This does not mean that the rest of your warranty is void or invalid—just that it will no longer cover that specific part.
Additionally, if your aftermarket exhaust is installed incorrectly or if it causes damage to other components on your Ford, then those damages will no longer be covered under warranty. Any problem that can be traced back to your new exhaust likely won’t be covered.
If you choose to install an aftermarket exhaust, you must be incredibly careful to ensure that it is compatible with your vehicle and properly installed, so as not to cause any damage to the rest of your vehicle.
If any issues do arise, be sure to read your contract carefully before bringing your vehicle into the Ford dealership, so you can best understand the circumstances under which they may deny your warranty claim.
