technically nothing voids the warranty unless there's a problem with your car and it's proven that the aftermarket part was the direct cause of the issue. (source: see Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975)
From what i've heard, the ypipe and bullydog gt tuner yield the best gains. honestly, i would say focus less on hp and more on things like cornering. get a rear sway bar and either coilovers or springs (i'm selling mine fs-altima-3-5-eibach-prokit-t514944.html , /end shameless plug) and i guarantee you that your altima will feel like a completely different (and better) car.

sell the A/C and buy an evo. Best HP mod you can do.


LOL


All joking aside... y-pipe, tuner, and exhaust.

Drop it and sway bar first. Cheap good mods that you will notice a huge difference, especially in the fun factor and taking corners. :)

Then go tuner>ypipe>exhaust>intake>pulley.

I'd get all HP mods at the same time, or at least install them at the same time. That way whenever you add on your second bolt on, you won't say "I barely feel a difference from just having an intake to an intake and exhaust" or something.

But yeah, I'd go with handling mods first.

ok, do any of those mods void the warranty and if they do, do they give the car a big chance of having problems

And no, from what i've heard none of the parts give the car a big chance of having problems.

fixed lol. are you typing on like a phone or something?

as far as ypipe, the only maker i've seen for our car is racingline. the injen intake isn't a cold air intake either, it's a short ram. We don't have any true cold air intakes offered since the battery is in the way.

I hear dealerships are good at claiming that aftermarket parts cause problems that void your warranty. If you wanna play it safe try to stick to NISMO for your exhaust stuff like you said.

Actually is you get the sticker that says 270hp it adds 270hp best mod ever!!!!

seriously though I would drop the car get Tien Springs, and then Bully Dog Gt Tuner then sway bars front and rear!!! Those were the biggest difference makers for me. Exhaust ant Ypipe are great as well.
