i have a warrenty on mine, i have a pro 5.0 shifter and k&n and flowmaster, they don't really care about that stuff, they just won't warrenty it obviously because they aren't GM parts. I don't see how tires would matter anyway, they're just not going to cover them under the warrenty

.....in order for them to deny warrenty on something when yo utake it in they ahave to have proof and declare that the reason for denying warrenty is directly related to the aftermarket part installed. another words if you break your trans and all you have is a cat back obviously they will warrenty it....however if you installed 4.10's an then broke your rear therey not gonna warrenty it. still, many places can be dicks about this and you just better bet that if you mod the car you will run risk of having warrenty work denied..its not rocket science just read the warrenty statement that came with the car etc... it will say right in thre all about what will void the warrenty or just call a local dealer.

just my .02

you can usually get away with bolt ons.....youll also have to keep cats and air pump.....no drag radials because of the "possible" damage to the drive train....

i had the stingiest of warranty companys....and i was able to have a ported tb, cutout, lid, ls6 manifold, lca's, phb, stb, no egr....
