I think there are alot of misconceptions when it comes to warranty.False information spread on chat forums etc. With that said, it really boils down to the dealer, and the service manager's discretion. For example my buddy tracks his GTR alot and the service manager that works at the dealer knows this. Yet he was still covered when he brought his GTR are in for some warranty work. Work that was done with the suspension +alignment..
The smoking gun example is my EVOX. Mitsubishi is suppose to have some really strict warranties. Well thats what alot of people say here.. Yet when I blew out my clutch slave cylinder piston, because of my aftermarket clutch. The dealer replaced my slave cylinder and put a new stock clutch all covered under warranty. This is also them knowing I track my car, and that its been flashed and tuned at Works..

Personally, I think the downpipes are overrated for mild setups.
Buschur recently posted a thread about the quality of the stock downpipe and how it is probably unnecessary to upgrade until you get into the 350+whp range.

I run a stock downpipe and I have 345wtq, 338whp on the HB speed dyno with exhaust, drop in filter, UICP, and tune. It's very comparable to what other guys are getting with similar mods AND downpipe.

Downpipes alone dont provide gains, but O2 housing Down Pipe combo is proven to give great gains. Check out the AMS cast piece thats been Out of stock for months. Also the Ultimate Racing one is good too.

You are so lucky to have a dealer that will actually help you out. I just don't know about the dealers here. I have only heard bad things about them. The hard part is that I have one shot at going in there for warranty, you know? If I go in and have not taken enough off to make them happy, then my warranty is shot and I have to spend 3300 on a new t case....I don't know what all I should take off...... I'm stressing over it so much... I think I do need to run to the border!!!

I say just to be safe take everything off...you could probably pay a shop a few hundred to do it and put it back on when the warranty is done and you would save yourself a lot of time and effort. Even cars that are completely stock gets rejected for warranty.
But you do have one thing going for you, most dealers probably wont suspect any mods because you're a girl haha. Just play dumb when they ask you if you have any mods. HUH? MODS? Whats that?

lol yeah I am going to play the dumb blonde card even if it is a horrible, tasteless thing to do..... Cuz it is hard to be a girl in the EVO world lol I am going out of town tomorrow, so I will start the long process of going stock when I get back. I think your right... everything is prolly gonna have to come off.... I would pay someone but I actually like the dirt under my nails... and mostly I don't trust many people with the evo lol

They wont make any money on warranty work if Mitsubishi denies their reimbursement. Your best bet is to take EVERYTHING off. If they deny you warranty I think they put you on a blacklist so you cant even go to other dealerships.
Post a picture so we can see how many mods you will be able to get away with lol.
