And frankly they likely can't deny engine warranty due to an exhaust, because by far the main contribution to the exhaust restriction is the turbos. Everything after the turbos and cats is basically irrelevant as far as a restriction.

That said, people have said the S68 does some efficiency stuff that makes it sound like crap, and that's why they went with the quiet exhaust and fake sounds.
It depends what you are changing, one of the questions in UK when getting insurance quote is has the car been modified, if you modify it afterwards you can void the insurance. As Crabman says better to be safe than sorry.
