Aftermarket performance parts and warranty question

Are there any aftermarket performance parts for the TL Type-S that DO NOT void the manufacturer's warranty? When I owned a Buick Regal GS, I swapped out the air intake box and filter with a K&N, and no one at the dealership gave me any flak for it when I brought it in for service.

I have all you see in my signature and no one bothers me in the least at the dealer.

There is a law protecting vehicle owners from just this fraudulent behavior practiced by some automotive dealers. The Magnusson-Moss Warranty- Federal Trade commission Improvement Act of 1975. Under the Magnusson-Moss Act, aftermarket equipment that improves performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer’s original warranty, unless the warranty clearly states the addition of aftermarket equipment automatically voids your vehicles warranty or that the aftermarket device is the direct cause of the failure.

Our warranty does not have that stipulation.
