They send a representative to inspect the car to see if it was installed correctly and not modified. . They do do everythingto get out of it I'm sure.

Please post your finding on the 16 eforce systems where they turned down customers instead of generalized working for a 3rd party warranty claim company. To my knowledge they didn't offer this on my LS3 blower when I registered it.. I do know they sent me parts up to 5 years for free never asking for any money what's so ever. They even changed the bearings and did a pm service for free I sent them to inspect the blower to make ready for a sale to get a clean bill of health in order to get the most money out of it. NC ever..

I would suggest calling eforce and talk with ed in the calibration dept or chris in customer service to get the facts..

I'm not sponsored by anyone, so I have no motivation here to make one brand look better than another. My statement is about warranties in general because they've all traditionally been administered by 3rd parties who have terrible reputations. This has nothing to do with Eddlebrock's or Magnuson's quality, customer service, performance, etc. so let's get that out of the way.

Now you're asking me to find a claim for a blown engine that was turned down over a period of 1 year, the same year the gen6 was released. While I could never possibly have access to all of that data, I can probably count the number of Eddlebrock supercharged 2016 Camaros on one hand. Has anyone even blown their engine on a 2016 Camaro yet running an Eddlebrock supercharger??? I would turn this question back to you since you're singling them out and they sponsored your build. Can you bring us a person who has had their engine blown where it was fully covered so they can tell us how it all went?

Since you're focusing on Eddlebrock, this is from their warranty that I downloaded when I was shopping for a blower. The only way that someone is ever going to see the full payout is if ALL of these things happen at the same time...AND they make it past all of the outs below. How many people are really going to get a supercharger and literally live to the letter of this agreement?

Edelbrock, LLC’s maximum liability per covered vehicle over the term of this warranty is limited to $16,500 which represents the
total of the individual component group’s liability as follows: engine components are covered to a maximum of $12,500, transmission

IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ABNORMAL OPERATION, ABUSE, NEGLECT, LACK OF MAINTENANCE OR LACK OF FLUIDS, OR DAMAGE
RESULTING FROM A COLLISION. OPERATION OF SUCH AN IMPAIRED VEHICLE WILL VOID THIS WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE OWNER IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING NO FURTHER DAMAGE OCCURS ONCE A PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED.

Also right at the top of the agreement in bold letters is this:

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WARRANTY IS BEING PROVIDED BY TIER ONE WARRANTY AND EDELBROCK
CORPORATION ASSUMES NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS WARRANTY.

Tier One Warranty, LLC was the company that administered the warranty and it's at the top of Eddlebrock's form. When I searched just now I'm seeing things say that they're out of business. Their number is out service and I can't get to their site...not sure what's going on but another similar company will take their place. Keep in mind that they can also sell your warranty contract (like selling a mortgage) to another company, like a US Fidelis for example - who I think is also out of business now.

Read some of the comments from people in this complaint that have a Tier One warranty: http://www.complaintsboard.com/compl...s-c190513.html

Here are some more examples of things that can happen with a 3rd party warranty:

Talking to a person on the phone that works for Eddlebrock is probably the first step I would take if I were still shopping for one. The first thing that I'd ask him is what happened to the place that I would've had my warranty with LOL.
