Anyone know if mufflers are part of an emissions warranty? Wife's 2013 Chevy Equinox didn't come with much info. After only 5 years and 58,000 miles the seam on her muffler has split open and it's sounding like a riced-out Civic. Thankfully it's after the cat, it's not throwing any check engine lights, and it doesn't look like it would be too many $$$ to replace.

Only to the Catalyst is usually covered. You might check with GM though and see if they will do it. 58,000 miles isn't a whole lot.
doubtful the 2010 hyundai rusted out pipes and they werent covered.
I tried the argument.. but its failing the emmissions due to rust holes so it should be covered but I didnt get anywhere with it.
They hit back with "our computer tells us which parts are covered and only those are covered"

A muffler is not part of an emissions warranty. They might goodwill under the expired basic warranty, maybe.
It may fall under the emissions warranty if the smog guy can't get a good reading due to the leak.
Dont waste your time at the dealer, unless its a cat its not covered, theyll hit you for a diag fee and you wont get anything. Just find a decent muffler shop and maybe they can repair it for now for a little more than just the diag.
Already rusted out in 5 years?
If you're lucky, you can get one of those exhausts on ebay made of 304

Thanks, I kind of suspected it might be a "too bad, so sad" if I tried to ask the dealer. They've already repainted the rust-prone doors and replaced the troublesome cam phaser solenoids under warranty.
I would think that any emissions warranty on a Chevy would be over at 5 years of age.
