Also @JPxM0Dz can a tune wear out a vehicle faster in the long run if you play around with the ECU?

TRD cat-back ? You could still add a catted front pipe and headers for more performance. Yeah most drop-in filters offer similar results. I would go with Perrin or similar.

I bought a Perrin pulley back in the day and never installed it. Glad I didn't because I heard countless stories of some not being installed properly, causing major potential problems. I'm sure it helps with throttle response though. There are a lot of people divided on this mod.

I would focus on more exhaust mods as mentioned earlier, also a tune via Ecutek or OFT and suspension mods like springs or coilovers. If you want more power, just go FI

No it won't, but it will void your warranty. If your concerned about warranty, any aftermarket mods on engine or drivetrain might be of a concern for you.
Having said that, you can always flash your ecu back to stock before going in for service.

Only thing that's going wear out your car faster is driving it excessively hard on a regular basis and improper maintenance, like oil & fluid changes on a regular basis etc.

They turned out awesome, perfect width I found, prevents a lot of snow build up as well as the spray on the side of the car. I like how low they sit as well!
