You can do a lot to your car without voiding your warranty:
You can check out the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act ... in short ... just because you install a part on your car does not automatically void the warranty. The part that was installed would have to have caused a failure. An investigation would need to be done to determine that indeed the part caused the failure.
Steeda has had 0 issues with warranty claims/denials. If you are looking to upgrade and purchase parts from a reputable company that won't cause harm to your investment, then look no further than Steeda.
If you would like to read up on what we have to offer then look here:

TJ, Thanks for sharing the link... I've been thinking about different gears for the rear end but not sure how hard they are to install, is it something I could do in my garage? I don't mind the ~170 cost to do it myself but incase I want to switch out again I'd like to avoid going to a shop and paying ~$100+ an hour.

Hello Paul,
A press is required for putting on the bearing on the pinion, and dial indicator for setting the pinion depth and backlash. If you have those, then sure you can do it in your garage. (Not something most DIY'ers have.)
Hope that helps. Let me know if I can get you started with those gears or if you are looking for another item? You can reach me at tim@steeda.com if you would like to ask some questions off line.

Steve - don't do a gear change yourself and don't go cheap - you'll pay in the long run. I had a good??? speed shop put a 3.73 in my 06. They said those are louder then stock. Ha Ha they lied, they just didn't know that factory is within 1000th of an inch tolerance. Had a real Mustang shop do a 4.10 and it was
quiet. Also a 4.10 is zippy fast but you'll cringe if you watch the fuel gage. 3.73 is a good mid-ground. Do it once, do it right.

Gears here (parts and labor) run around 500-600. Another alternative is to find someone who wants to swap rear ends. Its rather lengthy but if they want t trade straight up it is free. Do you have an automatic or a manual? Do a bit of research online to figure out the gear ratio you want. Automatics have a much steeper first gear than manuals, so 3.73 and above renders first gear close to useless without sticky tires. Also you will need a tuner to adjust the speedometer or talk to the dealer about your options.
The mods that come to mind that don't void the warranty are exhaust (cat back and axleback), shifter (no reported issues with warranty, but if a problem occurs with your transmission keep the stock parts and put them back on is a good precaution), suspension, appearance mods (if you drill into the car the paint in the surrounding area will be void), wheels and tires, brakes, pro-cal tuner, and various ford racing parts. Best bet is to have the dealer install all the parts that are questionable.
