So, it's really supposed to be that they can deny doing work under warranty if they deem the modification to be at fault. However, they can really do whatever they want and you're stuck. You can hire lawyers, spend tons of money and not have a fixed car for a long time. Be prepared for the risk when you get into modifications.

You run a -very- good chance of having trouble getting warranty work done on the motor if you've installed aftermarket downpipes.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

It comes down to the dealer and how the exhaust was installed.

You probably won't have much of an issue with a bolt on exhaust vs cutting the pipes for the install.

most of the cars on here technically have voided their warranties with installing the ECU flashes/tunes.

Hello there, as my experiences, if you do mods on your exhaust, it will only effect the warranty for the exhaust itself and you will still have warranty for the rest of the car, depends on what do you have.
If you are interested, here I have some performance exhaust with a perfect fitment on you car. PM me for pricing.
Best!
