I like to modify my cars. I usually find a dealer in the area, before I buy the car that is mod friendly. Not all dealers have to be.

The reality is that the dealer is correct in not covering a failure of a component that may be damaged by increased power that he modified engine produces. Like Wing Nut said, if you modify the exhaust and the radio fails, that should be covered. If you put on a cat-back and the converters fail, sorry about your luck. Now I would have an issue with a dealer telling me my camshaft failure, or timing chain failure was due to my cat-back.

The dealer legally can't say that you abuse the car because you modify it. They can pull records from your PCM and look at how you drove it, and deny the repairs.
