What Mods void warranty?
Does anything other than the GM accessories exhaust/intake not void the warranty?

GM can only void warranty if the aftermarket part damages what you want warranty on . Lets say your radio breaks , well GM cant say sorry your warranty is void because you have an aftermarket exhaust. If you add NOS and you blow your motor then yes you have voided your warranty

Thats not anal, but illegal (Unless their was a fire, or something electrical caused by the aftermarket radio). Laws are in place to protect you from this situation

What this essentially means (to me at least) is no tunes other than a piggy back, and be careful what other mods you do. A CAI is easily reverted to the OEM intake. Long Tube headers - not so much (though shorties you may be able to swap out without too many problems).
Basically - for mild modifications you should be alright. After that - proceed with caution. We should have it easier because they also seem to be targetting V8s for the most part, but... - X

Very interesting... I know nothing about GM tuning... but in the Ford world if you put the computer back to stock Ford could only tell the computer had been reset (disconnecting the battery reset the computer too). Ford could not tell that you actually had a aftermarket tune in computer... Could GM still tell if you put the computer back to stock (assuming GM tuners have this ability). What's the typical cost of a "blank" GM computer?

I don't think any of our mods here can void the warranty on your car.....unless you are dumb enough to let them drive it!

If a dealer says your warranty is voided for a legal replacement aftermarket part, ask them to put it in writing. They tend to back right off. SEMA also has people that will help you out and contact the dealer. Usually works best to get a hold of the manufacturer and have them contact SEMA.
