Idk the warranty laws in Israel. But in the states nothing voids a warranty. They have to prove the modification caused or atleast contributed to the failure to not fix that particular issue.
Also they have no way of knowing you have ever flashed your ecu, you can flash back to stock before going in for warranty work. Same with putting back on stock header or any mod really.
As for the FD swap unless the work was inside the FD specifically, that should have no effect on warranty for anything else. They would also have no way of knowing unless they drove your car and knew what speeds each gear should be.
Some other mods to consider aerodynamics and weight reduction.
Take out trunk junk -30lbs
Rear seat delete mine only dropped 25lbs but has a lot more noise reduction then before
Lightweight battery, I got the largest shorai dropped another 25lbs
And a full exhaust about 20lbs for 100lbs total
Light weight rims/wheels expensive but rotational mass + better grip/handling
Wilwood BBK -32lbs unsprung
Can get to 150lbs reduction somewhat easy without ruining DD comforts.
Aero to reduce drag
Jdm underpanels
Verus tunnel cover
Verus diff cover / diffuser
Verus front wheel deflector
Side skirts
All these add up to make a pretty big difference. Less drag/weight means you need less power to accelerate.

Those aero panels are all in my wishlist but I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on them being skeptical on noticeable improvements considering total weight added.
Also suggest getting an aluminum driveshaft to save 12 pounds that is also not insignificant rotational driveline inertia reduction. I've done that, 4.56 FD, Wilwood BBK, trunk junk removal, and aftermarket wheels/tires and run E85 with the OFT tune and it is night and day compared to stock. More weight savings could be had by getting a lightweight water pump pulley, emptying the wiper fluid, and running with a low gas tank.
