So it got towed back to the first dealer. They looked at it and said it blew the 2nd time due to the car being "modified" and they voided their warranty. I was helpless, AND another dealer had it before and they said it blew the 2nd time due to poor workmanship and not be installed correctly. I ended up towign the car home, it sat 4 months and i bought a rear off ebay and instaleld it myself, no issues since. but anyways, my warranty comapny said in no way could my mods cause that damage(i put a piece of the carrier out through the rear cover) and they said the dealer was being retarted for voiding their warranty but they couldnt make them fix the car. I could have probably gotten away with getting the motor fixed with the shorty headers, but i wasn goign to risk it, especially since im so close to the end on my warranty, i had 5 year 50k miles, i'm at 5 years in august and 48k miles now. better safe than sorry.

theres a recent law saying that unless the dealer has proof that the mods caused the damage that they cannot deny you... definately look into that
