I highly doubt it. they might make note of it in their system that you have a modified exhaust system, but they shouldn't be denying you warranty work since they can't blame most common problems on a modified front pipe. however, it IS the dealership though so who knows they might blame you to avoid tossing money to fix a problem.

Only if they can prove that your mods caused the issue they can deny coverage. They can not VOID warranty, only deny coverage on parts that failed because you made a modification

i suspect likely not to have issues, but its anyones guess how the dealer will treat your specific situation. people here will testify they had their transmission replaced with forced induction, and just as many to report a dealer is hassling about an engine because of lowering springs.
