Will aftermarket exhaust void warranty?

Will aftermarket exhaust void warranty?
I am not satisfied with the stock exhaust on my ‘15 A5 and I’m considering upgrading it. I bought the car CPO about 6 weeks ago, and I’ve got some extended warranty on it. I’m thinking about putting on an Armytrix exhaust, but not sure if the dealership would give me any issues when I take it in for service. I know I’d throw the exhaust part of the warranty out the window, but that’s ok. What about the rest? Does anyone have experience with this?

long story short, no.
Magnuson Moss Warranty Act.
is your car CPO, otherwise factory warranty on a '15 should be expiring soon.
the dealer is going to have to prove your exhaust caused a failure somewhere else.
people have been modifying exhaust for decades and I have never heard of a warranty claim being denied for that.
if you tune, change pulleys, etc. that's a different story.
also note, if you heavily modify the powertrain, most things are still covered.
ie. you tune your car and the power seat fails... covered. you put on a high flow cat and your wheel speed sensor fails... covered.
hope this helps. and stops everyone from coming on here and flaming people.
p.s. - I recommend AWE tuning exhaust, great sound and very nice quality. note that any good exhaust for these cars is not cheap.
