Does modifying the engine affect the longevity of the car?

I was thinking of tweaking with the engine a little and was wondering
if this would affect the longevity of the car.

Here are some things I was thinking of doing to my 2002 EX Coupe:

1) DC SPORTS 4-1 1PC HEADER

2) AEM CIA

3) HKS CARBON-TI MUFFLER

i don't really consider those engine modifications, more like hop-up parts. And no, they don't affect the longevity of ur engine. Even if you build up the internals of ur engine, the only thing i see happening is increasing the longevity in come cases (u better know wut ur doing in that case) else, u can total ur engine instantly!
