What's true here in the US very well could be very different in another country. The Mangnuson-Moss Warranty Act is great for our protection but that has absolutely zero relevance to someone outside of the US.

Furthermore, deliberately returning your car to stock to get warranty work when the failure is related to what you've done is fraud. Example: If your certain that your aftermarket exhaust didn't cause your knock then you shouldn't worry about taking it off, but if you've blown your engine because you ran a turbocharger and you take that off in an attempt to get a new engine under warranty, that makes you a scumbag. This is exactly why its such a hassle to get honest warranty work.

OP: I'd check for your countries laws, they very well could be very different than what is relevant in the US.
I only mentioned what "I'd" do. Not what he should do. It's a very gray or grey area LOL. The op is aware that he is from Canada. So what kind of fraud would it be? And who is it up to, to prove if it was?
