why not just buy a universal muffler and get piping custom bent to your car? Thats what I did and it worked great, and it cost less than alot of pre-bent exhaust systems (about 300 bux). I'm pretty sure any bolt on modifications will be fine as far as the warranty goes.

Putting an intake on it might void the warranty since that makes it susceptible to hydro-lock if water gets in the intake.
Basically any mod to the engine might void the warranty. Just look in the warranty pamphlet that came with your car and go through all the regulations listed and see if you would be breaking one of them if you put in an intake.

****, my car came _with_ an RMR intake/exhaust already on it. I sure as hell hope they didn't sell me a car with my big 6 year/75,000 warranty already voided. Of course, I think then, I'd have grounds for litigation.

liquidlancer, calm down man... I can feel the rage
By law replacing a part only voids the warranty on that part unless the dealer proves it was caused the damage. So if you replace an exhaust and blow a gasket they can't say it was the exhaust beause they have nothing to do with each other. Of course dealers will still bs and you will be the on that has to get them to do it. RMR parts are sold through the dealer to prevent warranty issues. The best thing to do is find a dealer that is aftermarket friendly (hard to find) and won't give you crap for having a few small parts installed.
