Re:Removing the Silencer Ring

You'd think....but as hard as I've looked I've yet to find an excuse to pull a trailer....or a trailer for that matter. My dad has a 16' flatbed or an 18' bass boat....and my granddad has a four horse trailer...but I want something with some weight to it. ;D

Re:Removing the Silencer Ring

Have you guys tried putting in a K&N filter. I noticed a big difference in my 12v. Or even a new Scotty air system. And the K&N won't void your warrenty. just a thought. -Anthony

Actually I believe some dealerships will void your warranty for using a K&N...so I'm told. [undecided]

Re:Removing the Silencer Ring

Then maybe inform the dealership that voiding your warranty because of using a non-oem is illegal. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a manufacturer to void a new vehicle warranty if the consumer uses non-oem filters unless that manufacturer provides filters free of charge. <br>I have not seen my Dodge dealership giving any air filters free of charge. -Anthony

Re:Removing the Silencer Ring

Something about the manual stating the filters must meet certain criteria and the K&amp;N doesn't meet that criteria. That's the basis on which they were voiding warranties. I don't know of anyone this has happened too...just rumors of it happening. I had a K&amp;N on my last truck...the Ford gasser...and nobody ever said a word about it. Of course it was never once back in the dealership for any work either....

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a manufacturer to void a new vehicle warranty if the consumer uses non-oem filters unless that manufacturer provides filters free of charge.
Actually though...I believe it states that they can't cancel a warranty unless they can prove that the non-OEM product is the source of whatever the problem is.

Re:Removing the Silencer Ring

hey Hoss what is the certain criteria that the filter must meet. Just wondering. I had never heard of it. That's all.<br><br>While were on the topic of voiding warranties. I wonder if it voids the warranty by removing the silencer ring even though it does no harm. But I doubt most of the DC tech. even know about it. <br><br>-Anthony

As I recall though the owner's manual says that the air filter must meet certain specs. Check your manual. I don't know if they'd void your warranty with K&amp;N or not....but if it doesn't meet the specs I suspect they COULD void your warranty IF they wanted to. Don't know though...haven't had any experience with that. <br><br>As far as the silencer ring...I suspect that if they wanted to give you a hard time about it then they could void the warranty on your turbo because technically you modified the turbo when you removed the ring. I haven't heard any cases of this happening...but I suppose it's possible.
