honestly, you are out of luck. there is no warranty with this car besides stupid minor things. if your tranny goes, you're paying for it. if your transfer case goes, you're paying for it.

Not even a simple exhaust or down pipe? I don't understand how you could not replace these would aftermarket parts. Is not really anything mechanical. What if you have some rusting or dents and need to replace these parts?

This is not the car to buy if your concerned with the warranty. The dealer I bought my Evo from said if I add an exhaust, and the struts go, the struts will be covered since the exhaust doesn't have anything to do with the struts. What a load of crap. Those idiots wouldn't cover anything. You have 2 choices. 1, forget about the warranty. 2, just keep all your stock parts so when something does break, you can just put it back to stock before you bring it to the dealer.

you can definitely get away with anything cosmetic. Add some CF here and there, change your shift knob or something... shorty antenna etc... they shouldn't have a problem with a drop in k&N filter.

It all depends on where you are and who you deal with. My rep gave me the green light on anything but aftermarket clutch, bov, turbo, and boost controller.
Oh and I just got my car back last week for a complete trans overhaul, under warranty. I added up the cost and they could have just put a new one in for less.
My rep also was the one who thought my trans should be repaired. I didn't think it was that bad. So I agreed, he gave me a rental and I was on my way.
