Granted, if you modified the engine, that shouldn't affect a radio failure, or peeling paint. But engine failures, yeah sorry. You're on your own.
An air intake can change the air/fuel ratio. An exhaust can alter backpressure. Fiddling with (tuning) the engine control parameters after these mods can potentially cause problems that you can hardly hold the GM engineers responsible for.
You wanna buy a new car and screw with it? Be man enough to take responsibility for the consequences. Did you read the warranty?

Wing Nut has it right, even though he sounds like Joe Friday on the old "Dragnet" TV series - "Just the facts ma'am, just the facts.........."
