-will a tune void warranty? What about a programmer, example, hypertech?
-headers void warranty? Shorties or longtubes or both?
-exhaust? Cats?
I don't see why warranty would be voided unless whatever mod caused the problem. For example, if someone did a tune and the a/c compressor went out. Those two don't have any relation, but if the dealer saw you had a tune, they would likely reject the warranty fix....am I correct?
CAI voids your warranty if the origin of the problem was the air intake.

A tune voids your powertrain warranty. Period. If you use a scanner as a scanner then that's fine. But once you put a tune into the car it's voided.

Shorty headers shouldn't void warranty. Unless the origin of the problem can be found to be the headers. LTs will void warranty because they require a tune.

An exhaust system will only void the exhaust warranty. Again, unless the problem can be found to be the exhaust. Then warranty is voided.
