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.

technically all could void warranty

this warranty issue has been beaten to death in other threads.

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.

Given those mods, your suspension warranty is most likely voided if you have a suspension related problem in the future. I do not see any other glaring warranty issue unless you regularly drive through lakes with the CAI or purchase some wheel/tire combo with the wrong offset, bolt pattern, or use some whacked out spacer, etc.

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.
