As I understand it, there was legislation called the Magnuson-Moss Act that limited the dealers' ability to void warranties due to aftermarket add-ons. As noted above, if an aftermarket part causes a failure 'downstream' from the part, the affected parts may not be covered by warranty, but other parts would still be covered. Most of this is at the dealer's discretion, and is open to interpretation ... I think that if you start making serious mods to the engine, it could easily be argued that a subsequent engine, clutch, transmission or rear axle problem MAY have been caused by the increased power, and therefore MAY not be repairable under warranty ... unless you get a VERY speed-friendly dealer.
