I don't know if this has been started yet, I was wondering what mods I can get on my balt that won't void waranty. GM turbo upgrade is one. What else can I do? Sorry if this has been answered before.

Pretty much GMS1, a downpipe, and a catback. Most dealerships will let you get away with charge pipes since it's just tubing.

Technically... Gms1, an armrest, and a k&n drop in filter.. There's tons of **** that could go wrong with your car and if the dealership is bein stupid then you could be fucked

Yeah, It's pretty much all about how cool your local Dealer is, Luckily I work for a dealership so I can get away with more than most, But MOST Dealers(Not All) will allow for a CIA, GMS1 or in my case GM Stage 2, GMPP Exhaust to name a few....Call your Dealer Bro.

I was a service writer and tech for many years. Its all how you position stuff. If they know your going to walk if its not covered under warranty then warranty pay is better than 0. They are all on commission and sometimes they get greedy because they think that by it going customer pay they will make more money. I saw people walk all day because stuff was not covered under warranty. Plus most dealers have it set up where the service writers are paid by surveys on warranty work as well.

Actually, it is only a dealer-installed GMS1 kit. A K&N drop-in or anything else can give them a reason to deny warranty claims. They can't legally void any part of your warranty, but they can red-flag you.

any oiled filter will make the dealer flip their ****... basically GMS1 and thats the only thing you can change... anything you want to do to the car has the potential to void the warranty... and honestly the **** you're going to break is stuff you'll want to replace anyways...

My buddies Lincoln had some **** go wrong with one of his window motors(somethin like that) a few days after he got some tint done.. To me it looked like it just wasn't "professionally" done good at all, but it looked like it had swelled out an bubbled up a lot on the bottom and got caught on some **** in his door.. But after a lil bit, his window wouldn't roll up all the way any more, and then not at all. Dealership wouldn't cover it

Technically nothing will void your warranty until your mod or abuse causes a failure. Then it only voids that part of it. However its pretty easy to start linking stuff together and get the car flagged and void stuff.

Think I can get away with something like an Intake, DP and a trifecta tune? (Assuming they don't know about the tune).

depending on the dealer, dp will be ok some try to hassle you on the intake but most likely wont win that argument. The trifecta is alright as long as you flash back to stock.

The only thing you can do is basically gmstg1 and thats it, no filter, no exaust, nothing. Unless its somthing gm offers for the cobalt.. I mean you cant even put brake pads on your car that are aftermarket if you want to keep you warranty on your braking system.. NO JOKE

k&n will VOID THE WARRANTY IF YOU THE INSTALLER DID IT, AND EITHER PUT TO MUCH OIL ON IT, DIDNT CLEAN IT Correctly and ect.
