Your mods shouldn't have any impact on getting warranty repair on the faults you described.
There's a high probability you'll get 'flagged', which will impact your warranty for future powertrain faults, should they be related. |

Do you guys recommend putting the stock tune back and driving it with the Catless down pipe check engine light on Or drive it to the dealer with the tune on and obviously no check engine light ? or should I bust the mission and reverse the car back to stock lol Put the stock cat back on and stock tune

Looking at some of the issues to be electrical it couldn't hurt to put it back to stock tune in case they check the ECU for some reason. It only takes a few minutes with BM3 to load and unload anyway. But the other mods shouldn't have any correlation to your issues you listed

Doesn't matter if you flash back to stock. It'll be detected regardless.

In my experience, they are all mod friendly until there is a major repair. I would definitely be prepared for warranty to be denied (within reason) if you are modded. Of course in your case the cup USB and rear light won’t be an issue, but a tune and crankhub will certainly catch someone’s eye.
