Default warranty avoided if installing shark pipes?

Guys
A simple question here: I bought an extended warranty from a third party named Mercury or something 2 years ago.
Are they gonna avoid the warranty if i install sharky pipes?
THOSE extended warranty worth or not? coz I just put 2000 mile a year on it, pure weekend's car.
Regards

I have a CPO Factory warranty from a Porsche dealer and the Shark pipes we on when I purchased it from the dealer. It's even noted on the checklist for the warranty.

Muffler Bypass.

Not sure the third party extended warranty stuff, may voided once I change anything stock.

I can't imagine that would affect warranty since you are not changing anything and you could easily put it back.

I wasn't sure if it had something to do with Pinning the coolant lines or one of the replacement coolant lines they offer. That apparently does void the Porsche CPO warranty which is really sad.

I have the Sharkworks exhaust that removes both side mufflers and the center one, just got the car, it was on it when I got the car. Boy, is it fabulous. A really hostile, aggressive, even violent sound, esp under acceleration. If you live in a noise restricted area, you might have problems. I love mine.
