One of the first things that I did to my car. I have had several small warranty items taken care of since then with no problems.

To void your warranty you'd have to have a problem and the dealer would have to prove that the switch caused the problem. I can't think of anything that could break due to the switch. The dealer that simply said 'yes' pulled that answer out of their backside.

no, you won't "void" your warranty--but possibly just the parts it might impact which are very few (and have not seemed to have many problems).
and note: simply because a dealer offers to install some component does not mean it, and everything around it is still under full warranty. as an extreme example, imagine a dealer installing a non-stock supercharged engine---you will not have the full, 5 yr/100K powertrain warranty on the engine any maybe some of the other parts affected by this engine.

Even assuming that you did have issues with the NPP exhaust system--whether or not it may have been caused by your divertor flaps remaining open all or part of the time--I can't think of any way the dealer or GM would know that there had been an M2W switch installed. Once removed and the stock fuse arrangement restored, there would be absolutely no evidence. Can't believe that each and every NPP event is data logged in the ECU....

If there is a warranty issue, we would have heard about it by now on the forum. I imagine large numbers of owners have removed the fuse or installed M/W. Not once have I ever heard of it generating a mechanical problem with the car.
By the way, the new C7 comes factory-equipped with adjustable exhaust. However, I'm not certain as to how much it mimics C6 Mild to Wild.

I daily drive my 2011 with the exhaust both open and closed (with a toggle switch controlling the exhaust) and have never had any issues.
I do leave it in the "quiet/normal" powered on position whenever I take it for service though, just to keep down any questions or concerns.
