Default Mods that avoid warranty kill

Just sold A 04 Gt last week to pay for college , Got that done and over with and went on with life. Well the day after I was missing MY stang so Much I went to a dealership and Financed a mustang Nearly identical to the previous, same year and color (Plus the Black leather interior , Mach sound system , Bullit wheels and window tint thrown in from a buddy at the dealership). Its never had a solid owner just some one who leased it , So it has low mileage and is practically new. I got the warranty thrown in for 3 years that covers all mechanical , electrical and maintenance plus some other nice to have stuff , so I know modding allot of the engine and exhaust is out of the question. What kind of performance mods will I be able to throw on there with out voiding the warranty ? anyone have any tips ??? My tax rebate is coming soon and its already burning a whole in my wallet.

lol I know , Ive been hearing that all week but I guess I should just call the service manager and ask ? Not ready for forced induction yet , Im just gonna save for forged internals , complete school , plan and do the wedding thingy and then get a turbo or Sc , . Im looking to throw on the usual bolt ons and give it a little go , better sound and look. My goal with this car is to get to 350 hp and im not in a hurry to get there at all.

they will only void your warrenty if something happends to the car that they can blame a mod for.

if thats the case then Ill be safe , most bolt ons cant cause any major damage that I know of. only thing I can think of is If I get gears and they get a nasty install which wouldnt be the case.

yea you can do stuff like headers, intake, throttle body/plenum. pretty much all bolt on's without any problems.
