I have decided not to go all out in terms of modifications on mine untill warranty has expired, and that wont be long because i only have r29 on my car, and was thinking how wonderful a full bellanger system would be and or knn cai untill then. But basically is there anything you guys would do and not have to worry about warranty validation issues?

Nobody really knows. I changed to higflows to keep my white paint from browning. FCA denied paint warranty for same. By correcting the problem I voided my warranty.
Your best bet is to write FCA and get their answer in writing.

Unfortunately, I believe FCA will use any excuse, and since headers change the parameters of the engine (in their eyes) you're playing with fire. I don't agree with it, but IMO, you're taking a chance.

I think those boomerang splash guards I got from Woodhouse are probably an OK modification.

Full Belanger? Dude, no question, warranty voided. They're tearing motors apart at the dealer to look for reasons to cover failed motors, this per our big dealers, it doesn't take much tearing down to see headers, done. HP change, A/F change, simply a 'change' equals voided warranty.
The only prudent course, knowing what we know at this point, is zero mods of any performance items, engine, drivetrain, suspension, computer. There are guys waiting weeks for coverage approval with bone stock cars, that's your barometer right now.
Try writing, but I'm certain you'll get some quote from the warranty manual that provides zero clarity and suggests that changing the windshield washer fluid could void your warranty, lol. I'd stay bone stock in till you're totally willing to foot the cost of any and all failures, then go for it and enjoy.

Tint is probably going to be OK.
Maybe some custom floor mats?
"Pine-fresh" rear view mirror smelly stuff for the interior? Probably alright.
I keep a few Viper hats on the rear deck. Easy to grab and look good from the outside.... probably alright too.

Unfortunately this guy is a tool. He would just quote you the warranty and say any and all modifications could and probably would void your warranty. Originally Posted by BJG32

I bet you that no one employed by FCA would give you any different answer than that, officially. Originally Posted by ViperGeorge

I think you'd be good with a catback and an intake- both may change the sound and do nearly nothing for performance other than weight savings possibly

These should be OK, but may add weight!
You could also add this with no problems

On a brighter note, most modifications will only void your warranty if something breaks, so you might be fine with everything. Or maybe not. It's best to think of it like a reverse lottery.
