Default Hi there - A first time Mustang owner

Hello everyone
I just had a small midlife crisis and ended up buying a new 2005 V6 Mustang. I ended up staying a bit practical with today's gas prices, but am still interested in doing some modifications maybe? I have a couple of newbi questions:

1) Will modifying things like the exhaust and small things in any way mess up my car warranty?

2) Can anyone give me some ideas on things like dual exhaust, spark plugs or other things that might boost power a bit, but not strap the gas mileage too much? Any ideas would be great to hear.

Correct and incorrect. Technically they can not viod your warranty unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused the problem. But if the part did cause then problem then your on your own. Also a dealer may give you a hard time about fixing anything because of aftermarket parts.

dealers always make up some b.s. excuse on how some aftermarket part caused to problem.
