Warranty maybe...Depending on your Dealer, but only to that certain part or parts, emission no...even if you get a racing exhaust with no silencer you can still pay the inspection people $30 and they will pass ya...

I would think if it voided anything, it would be the warranty...there's tons of cars out on the road that have annually pass emissions and inspection with exhausts and whatnot.

What ever part you screw around with will not be covered under warranty. So say you add something to the car and it causes a problem or it itself breaks, honda won't cover it. So if you try to get a new exhaust after for some weird reason yours falls apart or if it somehow collapses on itself and seals up and the engine explodes (banana in the tail pipe syndrome), you're outta luck [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. Otherwise you're perfectly fine, go for it.
