Does a muffler delete void a Ford warranty?

The muffler on my Ford needs to be removed and I’m going to replace it with a muffler delete pipe. My warranty is still valid and I’m worried this will void it. Will my Ford warranty get voided by a muffler delete?

Sorry to hear about your muffler! A muffler delete will not void a Ford warranty. In fact, Ford allows for the installation of aftermarket exhausts without breaking the warranty.
If you’re worried about voiding your Ford warranty, do your best to avoid the following:
  • Damage caused by natural disasters (flooding, fire, etc…)
  • Damage caused by reckless driving (racing, off-roading, etc…)
  • Abuse of the vehicle
  • Failure to regularly maintain the vehicle
There is also a list of certain aftermarket modifications that can void a warranty.
If you have a hunch that something is up with your muffler, look for one or more of these warning signs:
  • Your vehicle is louder than normal
  • The exhaust smells and/or looks off
  • Your gas mileage has worsened
You don’t want to drive with a malfunctioning muffler. Doing so can result in toxic fumes leaking into the exhaust system, an awful smell, terrible noises, and the loss of fuel economy. A faulty muffler should be immediately dealt with.
Not reviewing your
car insurance
won’t void your warranty either, but it will result in you having a less than ideal rate.
