Will mods void warranty?

I currently have a Vishnu Stage1+ kit on my car, and I need to get a power steering problem fixed so I'm planning on taking it to the dealership.

You can't even notice any of the mods, except maybee the exhaust.. but is it possible the technican can tell the car is modded from the the loop in idle, or from the sound of the car.

I'm thinking if its a power steering problem they have no reason to open the engine and inspect the car for mods.

What do you guys think?

The only way for any mod to void your warranty is if it can be proven, in court, that your modification caused whatever problem you're asking them to fix.

Last I checked, Vishnu didn't require touching the steering pump, and people that drive these cars with the wheels all the way at the lock have reported burning out the pumps, you should be ok.

My Dealership told me that Exhaust would only void my warranty if I removed the stock cats or the sensors. But even if you did it's not related to the power steering. You should be ok .

Best of luck, I think it will be dealership-dependent.
