What mods without voding warranty?

Anyone have an idea of what mods can be done without voiding the warranty? I know a catback only and drop in filter won't but what about MBC, Fuel pump, turboback, intake? TIA

always depends on the dealership, but From what i have gathered the MBC will void as well as the turboback, change of the BOV will and the fuel pump or injectors will most definitley void. But if you read up on your rights, you will see that a dealership can only void your warranty only if they can prove that your aftermarket part was the cause, so if you have a MBC and your rotors warp, they cannot deny you. I hope this helps.

then it's safe to say that everyone that owns an EVO has voided their warranty.

Thinking about going fast and mods = warranty void!
