Without voiding warranty?? That's going to be hard. Don't get the boost controller. Boost gauge I would say would be it for you. Just be glad you haven't voided your warranty with your dealer because of your downpipe and testpipe. You should ask your dealer/service manager this same question: What CAN I do next, if anything???

You could probably get away with a reflash, JDM DV, and a drop in filter.

good advice, doesn't hurt to ask.


you could probably do some suspension work, power wise you're pretty limited

You probably have already voided your warranty with the downpipe and testpipe. But a reflash/EMS (tuning) should be the next logical step, which would also void your warranty if found.

+1. That's if it's not voided already.

Don't worry about the warranty, they will not cover anything anyhow. I wasted 36k miles because I didn't want to void my warranty, when I took my car in because my seatback cracked (like so many others) they denied my warranty. warranty sucks...


Just use the search function and you'll know who to listen to, then put on the mods that will get you to your goal.

^ watch them... Down pipe is not okay by mitsu, they do however clame a cat back is okay. It really depends on dealership. However 99% or better will void with downpip and testpipe.

Its not against the law to void due to exhuast if they can come up with a viable reason why that modification caused the problem. Most will come up with a "good enough" reason to push 80% of there customers away. The others will fight and a handfull will win at best. Warranty is a tricky game to play and mitsu known for hideing from it. There is nothing illegal in them saying your exhaust system caused a problem and if they can come up with one good reason why then your going to have a heck of a fight to prove them wrong. Now if they say your dp cause your seat to crack then its pretty open and shut fight.. Like I said its a big game so get ready fora battle if you want to claim warranty work.

I personaly said "screw the warranty" and have lots of fun with the car. I took in to consideration how much I want to keep the car stock and hope for warranty vs "Haveing fun" and doing what I want with it.
