...factory warranty? 2006 Acura RSX Type S w/ 18x8 rims, cat-back exhaust, tein basic damper coilovers, JDM yellow fog lights.

yup when u installed the catback - bye bye warranty

Im not sure but i think that the exhaust will void your warranty. They only way u might be able to get around that is if you take it back to the dealership and see if they have a factory sports package to put on it.

it depends on what part of the warranty you are worried about, the dealer has to prove that the parts you put on caused the failure if they refuse to cover it, your suspension and steering warranties are probably voided

100% yes. From the stuff you have installed, it affects all parts of the warranty....suspension,engine and electrical. If something goes wrong with the suspension, they can blame the lowering springs. If something goes wrong with the engine, they can blame the cat. back exhaust. Then if something happens electrically, they can blame your JDM fog lights.

You are covered by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)). It is against the law for your dealership to void the warrenty of the car. If something does break then they have to prove that it was the part that infact caused the problem. So if your clutch breaks or something on the engine breaks they can not blame an exhaust because there is no ability of the exhaust to do such. So if the factory voids warrenty you can can sue.here's a link to SEMA and the informationhttp://www.sema.org/Main/SemaOrgHome.aspx?ID=50100

yes

it depends on the dealer, but most of the time any modification voids the warranty.coilovers and catback would void.unless they are purchased and installed by the dealer.I have even heard that tinting your windows voids the warrant bc the tint+glass puts too much strain on the window motor. to me that BS.

Well as long as all the parts are installed proper and will not cause anything to go wrong than your fine. the dealer cannot void your warranty simply because you have the parts put in. also you have to make sure that the parts you put in are of equal or better value. because if you put some cheap parts than you will have problems. but you are protected by Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which means that the dealer has to prove that what ever you have caused a problem. then you can fight it and have another mechanic or dealership look at it to see if that's the case. so you should be fine.
