Exhaust ?

Does taking off the cat and resonator, after the o2 sensor void warranty?
Btw, the car sounds freakin amazing, next thing muffler removal.

Yes and carries a hefty US fine. Actually a pretty stupid thing to do IMO.

It is illegal to remove functioning smog equipment. Often times there are O2 sensor after the cats to judge efficiency. Removing the cat will throw a DTC. The rear sensors can be 'tuned out', but then the warranty issue with tinkering with the computer come into play.
