Whipple and Resale Value

[Neggytive]

Warranty? Dealer will sell it as-is.

The rotor pack on a Whipple or TVS will last a looong time.

In some states dealers have to warranty their vehicles unless they are under a certain very low dollar threshold.

In MA it used to be anything under $700 could be sold without a warranty, anything over $699 with under 125000 mikes MUST have a warranty

Does a whipple really destroy a Mustang over 5 - 10 years. I plan to keep my car for life and it’s new. If I add a whipper with the other recommended upgrades and drive mostly in a civilized way, will I regret it in the long term? I’m under the impression the car can handle the extra horse power and is built knowing drivers will likely modify the engine. Thoughts?

To me, I can't see how a power adder like a Whipple wouldn't wear things out faster over time. Our Mustang GTs weren't designed for 700 hp and 600 lb ft of torque. Ok, maybe the engine can handle it to a certain degree, but the trans, rear axles, chassis, cats, wheel bearings, suspension etc not to mention heat management.. It might be fun and hold up for a while, but it sounds very very expensive for the ticket of admission and over time. And it's a ton of work if you are a DIYer. Do you have the time, patience, and money? Don't get me wrong, I have tossed around the idea of a supercharger for my car more than once. If I were to ever take the chance, it would be with a centrifugal supercharger, probably ESS. The centris seem to be easier on the other parts and heat management seem better.
