Under Federal law, even if you have modified the car, unless they can prove that your modifications caused the failure, they are legally required to honour the warranty.
 
For example, if you had a 3rd party tint your windows, and the MAF sensor failed, they can't blame the failure on the window tint. Also, under EPA2, the catalytic convertor is required to be able to last 100K miles. If it didn't, and they can not prove you made a modification that caused the failure, then they have no choice but to replace it under warranty. If they refuse, they are in violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Right but if you did modifications to the engine or exhaust it would void that Cat-warranty.

Hi,
 
I am new with the RX8 2009 and I need some help to locate the PCV Valve hose to install a product that will give 10 HP more and save fuel by 22% and more. Can someone help with that issue?
