What mods void warrantee?
I'm looking to do a bit of work to my 06, but before I do I'd like to know what voids the warrantee. Call me a noob or a moron, but I can't find this answered anywhere else. I'm looking to do:
rsb
coilovers
rims
tires
headers
cai
hondata
short shifter
pulleys
Hondata will be the easiest and possibly the first because I really don't have the time or garage access to get these done right now so that's the one I'm wondering about the most. I'll have some time come summer.
I just want more performance out of the car without having to forfeit my warrantee. Thanks for the help.

warranty work can be denied if it can be shown that a modification was the direct cause of a failure. So, If you reflash and then drive around at 7600rpm in 1st gear until your piston rings melt then your engine will not be repaired under warranty. If you reflash and your A/C compressor goes out then the compressor is covered.

The UR pulleys have been debated as well, but not specifically on warranty issues.
It has been debated here about Hondata. If I remember correctly, most dealers will not even be aware of the reflash unless you have some major engine or electronics related issue requiring in depth investigation and/or diagnostics.
Many people have been running the majority of that mod list for 2+ years. I would not worry about it myself unless you habitually abuse your ride and expect the warranty to CYA.

Thanks alot. I know a few of these thing had been discussed, but I couldn't find a definitive answer because obviously there isn't one. I appreciate all the input.
