I have a great relationship with my dealer so I know mods not requiring a tune would be fine(for me), but all bets are off when that ECU has been tuned/flashed. Nobody can save you then.
Warranties are great for daily drivers and cars heavily financed, but they're not everything to everybody.
I think the SS powertrain is very stout, so after putting in some miles to confirm it isn't a dud I will be fine modding my car and kissing my drivetrain warranty goodbye.
I will still have a bumper-to-bumper warranty that I could extend if I wanted, covering all the tech and mag ride etc etc.....I just know that if things go pop I am buying a new engine.

Thanks bro,great insight. I found a dealer and the service manager gave me a great breakdown on what I should and shouldnt do.For the most part he was ok with mods as long as you dont tune and it dosent cause an issue like you said. Now ill be adding a rotofab intake and maybe a corsa variable axelback later.
