If the particular malfunction can be attributed to the installation of an aftermarket part, then yes. In other words, it would not affect the warranty of the entertainment system for example, but if your clutch in the MCT starts to slip, they could make a case for it.

Arsha got me setup with the Wavetrac diff. All I can say is that I cannot believe these cars do not come from them factory with them. It makes a huge difference when you are trying to pull out in front of someone while making a turn and on the track. I will never be without one again!

Absolutely love the Quaife LSD I got from you for my Merc. Flogged on it this weekend at the track for the first time & cut a best 60' of 1.65. Made 20 passes over the weekend and never had a single "one wheel peel" launch, just hooked every time. Worst launch was a 1.72 60', all others were 1.6's. On the street I have gotten out of the habbit of turning off traction control as soon as I start the car now since I can actually drive it with ESP on and not have it kick in constantly. Thanks!
BTW 11.04 @ 123.85 was my best, (running DD street tune on 90 octane gas + Torco and kept the filters & stock air boxes on due to ash/smoke from forrest fires).

Just had a Wavetrac installed
Improves the package immensely
It's like adding power since it allows you to use power that was mot accessable due to lower traction/torque delivery
I'm not a modder but this one imho is REQUIRED on non-lsd cars
Money well spent

Good to hear! I especially like how you said it's LIKE adding power haha, usable power is always better then spinning tires!

Just got my Quaife installed and drove it home in the pouring rain. MUCH better - the car feels more sure-footed, traction loss is harder to provoke and when it does go it is much more predictable and fun. Highly recommended!

I love how everyone says it is much more controllable, that's the entire point of doing the upgrade!
