Looking for advice

[StellaST]

I have a 22 ST. It is my daily driver so I want to do a few things but don’t want to void warranty. I recently installed AFE Momentum GT Air intake. Love it. Next will be stereo. Then I want exhaust. Any suggestions on exhaust. Thinking a full system would be best.

Warranty is a fun topic here. Outside of cosmetic the warranty claim is going to be up to the dealership if they can prove your modification was the cause of any issue. You can find plenty of articles about the reliability of modifications, etc. Your intake, stereo and exhaust are pretty harmless. If you're looking for power add-on that ford performance tune is gonna be your jam. Keeps warranty, installed from Ford and comes with their stamp of approval. Its mild by comparison but keeps you safe (relatively) from anything crazy.

Search around and you'll find tons of information on everything you've mentioned. Welcome and happy modding!

Thanks! Weird, I just purchased a Ford extended warranty and they told me the tune would void me. So much info.

An aftermarket tune will, yes. If they can see (not hard to) that you flashed the tune they can claim anything really.
