The only thing that would/should negate a warranty, would be if you removed or replaced the catalytic converters. A simple cat-back system should not negate your warranty.

i know that ferrari dont void a warranty for cars with TUBI exhaust . i find the us system to be fair , claims that are directly resulting from the mods is not covered , but for example if you have a defective shock absorber ,you dont replace it under warranty because there is an after market exhaust?. i call this bad faith

Do you know if the dealer sells any after market exhaust? Has the dealer install any after market exhaust? Typically the dealer is not the one offering the warranty. It is the manufacturer or its affiliate selling the car. As you indicated above, if a warranted item is defective and not caused by an after market installed equipment, then your warranty is good.
On the other hand, if the after market equipment caused the failure of other OEM parts then it would not be covered UNLESS the dealers sold the AME or installed it.

I suspect your opinion is based purely on what you would LIKE the situation to be, not on an objective assessment of how courts might decide if push came to shove.
If fitting an after-market exhaust system not properly laid out for the car resulted either in:
a) engine damage resulting from the engine running under the wrong operating parameters, or
b) the car spontaneously combusting due to inflammable components or fluids being subjected to higher temperatures than in the original setup,
do you seriously think this is a case for a warranty claim?
If you do, don't be too surprised if the manufacturer concerned might think differently, or any judge called on to finally decide on the matter might take a less than sympathetic view of the merits of the claim.
