I was talking about the paint warranty, Anthony. The paint warranty has nothing to do with drivetrain warranties. Ford doesn't call it 'Bumper to Bumper' anymore either because it's not specific enough for when they decide to tell people to fuck off.
You take any emissions shit out of your new truck you better have an authorized Ford mechanic do it that is recognized by Ford for after market work. I was told by Ford customer service and the dealer that if I put my own cold air kit in that will void my warranty. The dealer said small shit like that won't affect them honoring it but those are Ford's rules. I have that backed up on the Mustang forum I belong to as well.
I find that is a punk move on Ford's part.
Find someone who can reset the electronics and remove the catalytic converter yourself. You wont' need inspection for like 5 years anyway and you can put it back on or not if it's a diesel. They don't check emissions for diesel at the DMV. The Texaco station in town by you will "inspect" for a fee and pass damn near anything. I used to take my motorcycle there because the pipes wouldn't pass DMV inspection.
Or you can just leave it alone.
