What mods will void honda warranty?

Has anybody heard to what extent we can modify our Si's and still maintain the factory warranty? I'm only contemplating a CAI, aftermarket headers/exhaust, & maybe a performance CPU. Will those void my warranty? Also has anybody had any experience with the so called "electric turbos"? Are they any good? Garbage? what?

any mod that can be traced to the problem....will void the warranty. if you have a broken cv boot and have a CAI....they cant do jack but fix it under warranty. electric turbo, havent heard of it. If it were me i wouldnt waste my time or money.

as far as i know those 'electric turbos' that u can find on ebay are junk

infact, some people have complained of reduced performance when using them

Ummmm...exactly what is included in the FP package? Is it just wheels and suspension stuff or are there some good things like engine mods?

im pretty sure any form of forced induction would void warrenty (because if something broke Honda could use that reason pretty easily to void it sayin its a result of that even if in fact it wasnt)

Intake headers your still overd
unless you get a Cold Air Intake and you suck up water and blow ur engine off it
thats not coverd cuz u installed the CAI
heeh
(i gotta avoid puddles)

my honda dealer told me that if you modify any thing that part is not covered everything else is.
so if you drill into your intake manifold and install direct port nitrous and your manifold cracks it is not covered by warrenty.
they told me if buy lowering springs and blow a strut the strut will be replaced under warrenty, if they install the springs.
but then again my honda dealer sells any aftermarket parts, if you want it they will get it, or install it for you.
