Your warranty should be just fine. Just ask the dealer just so there's no misunderstanding and the dealer doesn't try to pull any BS on you.

That being the case no issue if I buy from Dealer A in one state and breakdown in another state and take to dealer B?

Also, for a tuner with rineharts? Power Vision? SERT?

In order to void the warranty, the MOCO must PROVE that any changes made caused the problem being looked at. That is hard to do. "Mufflers" shouldn't void your warranty. Changing out the entire exhaust system could cause problems if there is an issue due to 02 sensors or something being out of whack. The dealer installing them probably won't make that kind of error though.

Tuners can be a different story. If you're worried about it, and not looking to really boost performance much above stock, just get the dealer download to the ecm and you should be golden.
