Nothing "voids" a warranty.

Neither will void your warranty unless the dealership could prove the problem you would be having with the car was directly related to that part. While your powertrain warranty *could* come into question, your suspension would still be covered.

Either are illegal due to EPA regulations. But some members have passed emissions with the Supercat.

Maybe a hp or 2 on an NA car, but nothing noticeable. It might very well throw a CEL (about 60% chance), whereas the hi-flow cat will not, and you will pass emissions.

If you have the Greddy, you do know that putting a midpipe on will make this ridiculously loud right ? At least with a hi-flow cat it acts as a natural resonator and cancels out some noise, but a straight midpipe and prepare for ears bleeding & cops pulling you over.

It will be very loud when you first put it on, but quiet down over time.

I don't see any reason for it to change your fuel mileage. Mine hasn't changed since I put on a catless midpipe.
