Question about Century MINI

I'll be moving to the Asheville area shortly and I'm thinking of putting a cat back exhaust on my MCS. I don't have any other mods except a drop-in air filter and I was wondering if anyone thought Century MINI in Greenville would give me any trouble with my warranty. Also, I'll be sending in my application to join the club this week....Thanks, Mike Jebsen

Hey Mike,

Welcome again to the area! I don't want to pretend to speak for the dealership, but I'd like to think that they wouldn't have a problem with something like that. Your best bet is to speak to them directly, either Henk or more likely Jim in service should be able to help with your question.

Before others point it out, the Moss-whatever Act protects you the owner and places the responsibilty on the dealer to prove your mod caused the problem. Check the Mod section for the real wording.

PM me if you want the 800 number. Century has been very helpfull to me and others I know when it comes to getting things done.

My understanding from talking to Jim in service, and Brent, their chief mechanic, that if it's not an "extreme" mod, like a racing clutch or engine mod, they have no issues with minor modifications. I would consider an exhaust mod a minor issue.. I have heard that they have an issue with "extreme" pulleys.. Also, I have a drop in K&N air filter, and they have absolutely no issues with it..
