I just purchased a new GT G8 and would like info. on nonvoiding warranty perf. parts. Like the title says I just purchased a new Stryker Blue G8 GT and has the factory warranty as well as the extended bumper tp bumper warranty, what are some aftermarket parts that I can buy that won't void the warranty. thanks 1sicss.

This is probably something to look into personally with the warranty manager @ the dealership, as they all seem to have different takes on which modifications are allowed and which aren't. Majority frown upon tuning though, so I would have your tuner save the stock file just in case you have to go in for something. CAIs are generally allowed, but delving deeper, such as headers, are where some are picky.

Actually the only way to be 100% sure you will not void the powertrain warranty is to leave it 100% stock - tune and all.
GM has really been getting strict with the advent of the 5yr/100K powertrain warranties, thats a long time to cover the powertrain, an eternity if someone beats their car constantly and pure hell if someone starts upping the power.
Now that GM is broke and giving warranty 'friendly' dealers a hard time about increased warranty claims on driveline parts I would be very careful with mods. IMO if you plan on modding past anything that can be reversed in 10 minutes I wouldnt plan on GM fixing it if you blow it up.
