IIRC, even RGMs S/C conversion keeps your warranty and service plan intact. Perhaps ask the dealer how that works - assuming they are even aware of it.
Alternately, just go to another dealer, as suggested.
I would be curious to know why the dealer said that in the first place though, as there's going to be lots of grey areas on these cars in the coming months as they start aging and there more and more modded cars - however IMHO a bolt on exhaust should not affect a service plan. Would be interesting to see how Toyota SA is going to react. With BMW for example, BMW SA gave e90/e92 M3 customers a really though time when a "slightly" modded car arrived at a dealership - to the extent where innocent clients purchased vehicles from a dealer and were accused of software mods (on stock cars) when bringing the same cars back for services, etc. Let's see how Toyota dealers/SA is going to handle the 86s...

You missing the point....
You go into a dealer or the area technical Manager identifies modifications to the car in and goes onto the Toyota portal and voids your warranty or service plan, what are you going to do.
Are you prepared to take on Toyota.
Understand your risk and ensure you have a great relationship with your dealership.
Btw where do you get your information RGM Supercharger keeps the warranty?? I'd like to see that in writing.
