Not true, warranty stays valid as long as you use HD Screaming Eagle products. They do make slip-ons, AC and a tuner. You also have a specific period of time (60 days I think) from your date of purchase, to purchase, install and include your Screaming Eagle products onto your warranty and have them included as if they were on your bike at the time you purchased it. Dealer should be able to explain this fully.
But some will argue and deny warranty claims for non-HD aftermarket parts on a new(er) bike with a remaining warranty. Best to ask the questions before buying expensive parts you "technically" don't need.

If you look at the part for either the air cleaner or the exhaust on the website, they both specifically say that ECM calibration is required. So the download would be required at a minimum. Tuner would do a better job but as others have said, it could void your engine warranty using after market, non EPA compliant parts other than their tuner.

Um, I would think it would be obvious... and I didn't know there was a 1000 miles minimum on OEM parts.
For my part, I'm motivated for better performance.... I have been "pulling stock parts" on 2 shovel heads, 1 EVO, and 4 Twin Cams.... I don't own an M8... or I'm sure I'd be able to add an M8 to that list...
And before you ask why I don't ride it a bunch first to see if it's powerful enough..... I don't care what engine, what HP rating, what Torque level it has in OEM trim.... I've owned enough Harleys to know that any HD engine sold in OEM/EPA approved condition, is choked-up and underperforming. It's just a few small changes away from breathing and performing a lot better.... Of course I don't always (almost never) stop at those few small changes, but that's where the sickness comes in....
