Aftermarket vs warranty

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

I am sure this has been addressed before, so please excuse me for being new to the Forum, but....
Has anyone had discussions with Nissan USA to determine whether aftermarket upgrades such as intakes, body kits, exhaust and springs will void the manufacturers warranty on the Z?
Thanks, everyone.

A:

As with any car, aftermarket modifications do not in and of themselves automatically "void" any warranty. However, if it can be proven that the modification is the cause of a problem, it will not be covered under warranty.
In other words, if you put an aftermarket exhaust on your car and your radiator starts to leak, your warranty is OK. If you put an aftermarket exhaust on your car and you gain an exhaust leak at the manifold, I'm sure Nissan's dealer will inspect your installation thoroughly to make sure your aftermarket exhaust isn't the culprit.
A:

they will void your warranty if you have so much as farted on the drivers seat.
A:

Judging by Nissan's lame response to the tire feathering issue, I didn't even know they had a warranty.
A:

ZNESS must love that BMW warranty - I understand they kiss him before they bend him over.
A:

Why waste money on an aftermarket exhaust for this car? The tire roar is plenty loud enough.
A:

Scorpion and Zness should hire a manager to get them on a sit com.
A:

OMG ZNESS SHUT UP....... How come YOUR the only one who complains this much on here?????????????????????????????
