I am in the process of installing intake, fp, dp, exhaust , intercooler.. my question is will these parts effect my factory warranty?

Also soon or later I plan on getting hondata flash pro. I am assuming that will definitely void the warranty ?

Any input is greatly appreciated ! Thanks all

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, technically, only if the malfunction was directly caused by the modification can the warranty be voided on that basis. However, since modifying engine components can affect any number of systems and subsystems, a dealer (and Honda by extension) will likely deny all warranty claims on a vehicle that is obviously modified.

None of it in itself voids a warranty. But, if those components can be proven to have contributed to a warranty claim, it will be denied. It's a slippery slope.

Yikes lol. I’m not really worried about much of the warranty besides that second gear crunch people talk about, although I have not had any issues before
