Intake,headers,exh...warranty question

Have a pre owned certified 2008 f150 supercrew 5.4l 4x4...need to know if a k&n intake, jba headers, and a magnaflow muffler will void powertrain warranty- anyone know?

Also, probably the wrong section to ask, but does anyone know if the superchip cortex chip voids as well? Ive heard it doesn't leave a footprint, if you re-flash to stock settings while vehicle is in for service, or if anything breaks, but can't believe the dealership doesn;t have a way of finding out...any input would be appreciated.

#1 an CAI on a 3 valve motor needs a custom tune, not a POS canned tune designed for a stock intake

#2 shorty headers are a waste of time and money on a n/a truck

#3 YES they will void your warranty more than likely

Uh TJ?
Superchips does offer canned model specific cai tunes for their flashpak and cortex programmers.....
But
I do agree with you on the rest......
