It picks up where your GM Power Train warranty stops after the install. Do the research on the Edelbrock website, I left a link on post#5.

No offense on what you've done as it looks great but if you are looking for performance you are already slower than a stock car being you have 22 inch wheels.

The biggest gain you could get out of that car and keep the warranty would be a set of bigs n littles. Easily.
17x10 lightweight rims with a DR for the rear and a 17x5 front rim for the front. Weld makes them. You need the high pad version to clear the brakes. Would drop around 80 lbs of weight from the car and this would be rotational weight. Even more beneficial. That and the additional grip from the DRs would be quite the gain. Especially compared to your current set up.

When you go out on the town looking for a race throw them on. When you want to look cool stay with your 22s.
I was just gonna say don't pick up any fat chicks but this advice sounds a lot better

Nothing will void your warranty faster and more absolute than a tune. As mentioned previously, the 22's will greatly impact your speed. Not only do they slow you down due to weight, but they will greatly limit the traction you can get as well. No real point in adding power with that in consideration. If warranty is an issue, then there is no point in spending money modding as the gains that can be had while keeping the warrant in tact are minimal and not worth the $ they will cost you.

Car looks really great BTW!

Doing an intake, exhaust, and tune is always a good start. You can get tunes that back up the factory program so that you can switch it back, exhausts generally don't void your warranty (except for the actual exhaust), but an intake can. GM is coming out with an intake that you can get in the next few months that won't void the warranty.

I have the NPP and it does sound awesome, but the aftermarket ones definitely sound even better, you can get ones that still have functioning dampers like your NPP has. I just watched a video on an exhaust swap out, and the stock exhaust looks pretty restrictive and the muffler is huge compared to the aftermarket one. You can always start out with a cat back and if you wanna do the headers later you can always add on.

Sick looking car btw.
