Warranty vs Modifications
I was unable to find a thread that addressed this issue and I expect this has been discussed many times, so forgive me, but . . .
I am looking to add a Alto CAI, 15% pulley & H-Sport sway bar.
Do any of these modifications void or affect the warranty on my '04 MCS?

In general, the dealer will only deny warranty coverage for problems that are caused by your modifications. So, if you install the pulley, intake and swaybar, and your radio later stops working, that would probably be covered.
But if you start getting noises from your rear suspension after installing the swaybar, you might have a hard time convincing the dealer that the swaybar isn't the culprit.

It is up to the dealer - if you put on the pulley and a week later your supercharger freezes up - you are going to have pay for it - they will blame the pulley.
But if the failure is not related to any non-factory parts then you should be ok. Just be prepared to argue with the advisor and manager if you have to.
Good luck
