New 3

Just got a new 3 two weeks ago. This car is AWESOME! Any suggestions on what I can do without voiding warranty.

Welcome...what you can do without voiding the warranty depends on your dealer. Some dealers throw a fit if you put a K&N air filter in, others you can waltz in with a CAI, header, and catback and they'll still do warranty work.

Generally though, you need to 'pay to play'. Take a look around the Mazda3 section and see what others have done. While putting a CAI, header, and catback *probably* won't break anything, you need to understand that it *can* possibly cause something to break, and you need to be willing to pay for those damages

Also, where in PA are you? If you're in the eastern half, check out www.mazdateam.org !

Thanks for the info. I will check out the site. I live about 1.5 hours from Philly. AEM's site said that there CAI will not void warranty and the dealer I spoke to agreed. And when I got the car the said something about Mazda approved parts, so I am assuming that Mazdaspeed parts are approved.

do you think they might make an excuse of how, if you intall it yourself, that you "intalled it incorrectly" and void your waranty? it seems possible doesnt it?

Sure it does. Could just have the dealer do the install.
