Otherwise, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prevents a dealership from voiding your warranty due to a modification. The dealership has to show that the modification is the cause of the issue in order to deny a warranty claim. So they can't say no to fixing taillight condensation because you got aftermarket wheels. But they can deny your claim on a blown motor if you've had your ECU tuned.

So consider what you want to do with the car and what parts of the car are effected by your mods.
Exactly! Service writer at dealership told me about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. He said they have to prove the mod caused the engine issue or whatever the issue is. Aftermarket catback exhaust would be fine because it's bolted on. He did warn me changing out the header they will not honor warranty.

OP decide what you mods you want and go from there. Just my 2 cents!
