What kind of mods can I do to my car to make it quicker, while not voiding the warranty? Its a 00 gsr and it already has an aem intake, dc header and rsr catback.
Thanks

you can't do much else without voiding the warranty.

how many miles are on your car and how long is your warranty?

May not be factory. If it's not, you may be able to get away with a little more.

Edit: I mean that... I'm sure if you bought it used, the dealership would not tear open the engine and see if it has a performance build.

cams are about the only thing you can do without making drastic improvements from your standpoint. IMO turboing it is about the only way to make any power out of our Hondas without spending $1000's more than necessary

We need more info from the OP before we can give anymore advice.

When was the car purchased?

What were the terms of the warranty?

There's a law that says if the part you modded didn't directly affect the part you are trying to warranty, then the warranty is still valid.

For example, if you installed coilovers, and the engine died, they can't deny you a warranty claim on the engine because of the coilovers.
