Slick tyres are not approved for road use. There are numerous oil filters you can use that are perfectly adequate that will not cause warranty issues, same as brake pads.
So long as they meet the necessary standard there is little MB can do. I'm not sure what the standard is for brake pads but I can assure you MB will have to meet them, it's not the other way round.
It's not unusual to have multiple suppliers of the same product supplied to any manufacturer.
A catted downpipes that meet emissions standards would not cause a warranty issue. There really is little MB can do about it.

Aren't exhausts serviceable items? So long as you use pattern parts with the same spec you should be fine. It's like voiding a warranty for different brake pads.
Oil filter, pads, discs, tyres, exhaust, air filter (drop in), pollen filter etc are all replaceable and won't void warranty.
A decat might, but i can't see how a catted pipe would.

I took the C63S for rear diff oil change and to look at the tailpipe soot (which I thought was nonexistent with the fake tailpipes). Spoke with the SA, who said that downstream issues would not void engine warranty, but voids exhaust coverage. With that being said, he is the 3rd SA I have worked with at this dealership in the past 5 years, and the previous 2 seemed much more unterested in my issues/questions (you stay with one SA).

It’s my first week in having Armytrix exhaust system installed on my C43, sound nice. Very similar to the P.E that is standard option. Has a control to open up flaps and close. Trying to break my habit of having them open and S+ 24/7. Love the new sound. I also questioned a couple SA. They suggested exhaust should be okay unless they can clearly find that the exhaust was an issue to the problem. I too have extended warranty.
