Moving tailpipe to side - Warranty problem??

[Outback Paul]

I want to move my tailpipe to come out on the side because it melts stuff on my hitch haul. Will this cause some problems with warranty that you know of?

Anyone else have this problem and fix it another way?

Should not create any warranty problems what-so-ever.

The warranty with regards to modifications reads such that any part damaged by the modification/aftermarket parts is NOT covered.

Since there should be no problems cause by such a simple modification.....you should have no problems warraty wise

I guess it would depend if you have the resonator cut off like i did.........but then again, I don't see anything coming up where that would void the warranty. I just looks better that way.

Q. Does installing an aftermarket part, automatically void my vehicle factory warranty? A. NO, According to the Magnusson-Moss Act of 1975 (see below):

The Magnusson-Moss Warranty - Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of 1975 protects consumers from such fradulent activity by new car dealers. Under this Act, aftermarket equipment that improves performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer's orginial warranty, unless the warranty clearly states the addition of aftermarket equipment automatically voids your vehicle's warrany or if it can be proven that the aftermarket device is the direct cause of the failure. The easiest way to check this is to look in your owner's manual under, "what is not covered". Under Magnusson-Moss Act a dealer must prove, not just vocalize, that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before they can deny warranty coverage. If they cannot prove such claim-or offer an explanation- it is your legal right to demand compliance with the warranty. The Federal Trade Commission (202.326.3128) administers the Magnusson-Moss Act and monitors compliance with warranty law.
