So for instance, if you put on a catback exhaust and then develop electrical problems with your radio, they will probably honor the warranty because your exhaust in no way affects the electronics. However, if you do any power modifications and then develop transmission issues, they now have an excuse to decline coverage--basically, the trans isn't designed to handle the increased power, so it's your fault.
