Mod Friendly Dealerships in Atlanta?

Hi everyone. Just ordered a new Scion FR-S and I am so stoked. I am looking to install a couple mods as a header back exhaust being one of them. Anyone near Atlanta area that goes to a mod friendly dealership for services, maintenance, and warranty work? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't expect any of them to be mod friendly sir. This car still is pretty new and as soon as you void the warranty with aftermarket parts its a good chance the techs will not hesitate to declare the care taboo ....but i will pm you a few tidbits about us at the dealer.

The closest dealerships to me are Autonation Toyota/Scion Mall of Georgia and Atlanta Scion in Duluth, but I do not know how they are. Anyone near Atlanta area that goes to a mod friendly dealership for services, maintenance, and warranty work? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Header back exhaust shouldn't cause any major worry in taking it to the dealership. Expect your exhaust warranty to be gone, but they will have a hard time proving that it caused any other issue.

I figured if I were to do anything to the powertrain, it would only be a header back. I do not plan on doing a tune or adding aftermarket headers so there's that. I do not see why they should care so much as they offer borla and trd exhausts for our car.

My dealership said header will void warranty, and to only do everything else. Not too happy about my eibach springs either.

I don't know about heavier mods but with Tein S-tech springs and invidia catback Subaru of Kennesaw didn't say a single word. They did the routine maintenance and I was on my way.
