I want to start upgrading my 8 with performance parts but the car only has ~2,750 Miles on it...... 37,750 Miles till Forced Induction

But until then I want to start increasing the perfomance:

Yes or No : Will an aluminum underdrive pulley void warranty(not MS)?
Yes or No : Will a 9.75# flywheel (not MS) void warranty?
Yes or No : Will an aftermarket intake (such as SR's) void vehicle warranty?
Yes or No : Will High flow cat void vehicle warranty?

Not interested in this but to keep with the topic for others:
Yes or No: will an ECU upgrade void the warranty?

As for exhaust, that is a "NO" becaue my wife would shoot me if I made the car louder

PS: I also just bought a magnetic oil drain plug. I wanted to install this early in this car's life.

Thank you all.

You should do a search as it has been discussed and debated at length. The short is, no one mod will void your entire warranty, however, it may void a section of your warranty if the dealer can prove it caused the failure of a realted part.

UD pulleys installed and coincidentally your water pump fails - they can claim that the pulleys caused the failure. It may not be true, but you will have a very tough case ahead of you. And if you blow an engine or something expensive, you could be into hiring a lawyer or something drastic like that. Just depends on the mentality of your dealer.

Well its been said the mod has to be proven to cause the part to fail in operation in order for them to void your warranty. But either way its really who you know in the dealership less than what mods you have. With bolt- on mods like intake, exhaust, or ecu it wouldn't be a problem because if you have a real serious problem just uninstall the part and reinstall the original.
