I have met him 3 times. He is about a 6' 4" or better thin strapping white bloke. Not high maintenance but has something to do with vehicle maintenance. Some say he might be a MITSubishi MASTER.

i think you have been deceived. i was able to recently obtain surveillance photos of said Mike, he is most definitely the opposite of your description. see below:

The good thing is that every time I take my car there, I magically get more leg room in my car.

Nah, they just have a shrinking device in the tv room..

Hey Mike.. is there a certain level of mods that are okay w/you guys without causing any warranty issues? I've been wanting to get at least a catback for the time being, and maybe an intake (w/stock MAF housing), but didn't want to run into any problems down the road. I'd prefer a full turbo-back and a tune, of course, but I'm guessing I might need to wait until my 3-year and 5-year expire for that.

The advisor I talked to wasn't sure and said to ask you about it. And if that's something you can't talk about here, I understand.. thanks!

Warranty: Its always a gamble...I have no say in what is and what isnt covered... We have to submit everything to a rep.....I would go with the full set up..
