Default Will a cat back void my Warranty?

Hey guys!
I bought my crossfire about a year and a half ago, and when I purchased it from a chrysler dealership I was able to purchase an 3-year extended warranty. I just put on a magnaflow bolt on exhaust and I was wondering if i brought it in for work would they void my warranty?

Thanks Everyone!

they would have to prove that any part that failed did so because of the cat-back exhaust. otherwise, not a chance.

Thats awesome. Thanks for the quick response guys. It sounds amazing and I can't stop driving since I installed it. Is there any part that could directly fail on account of a cat back muffler?
Thanks

A crazy example would be something like this...

Wiring harness decides to start touching the exhaust. Exhaust gets hot, wire harness melts and causes widespread damage to components or worse yet a fire.

So could it happen? Sure. Is it very likely? Nope.

Even then, they'd have to prove that the exhaust caused the wiring harness to either come loose from its mounting, or you'd have to have an exhaust with pipes so large they were encroaching on an area that the factory exhaust does not.

This is such an awesome forum. Thanks for all your responses guys. The last question I have is whether or not an after-market exhaust could cause engine damage in the long run. I have been riding sport bikes for the last 6 years and immediately after purchasing a bike I would install a pipe but I always mated it with a different fuel-map computer to prevent valve damage. Is this a concern with lower-reving bigger displacement engines?

Thanks everyone!
