Default Supporting Upgrades for future addition of TRD S/C

I'm the happy owner of a 07 Flint Mica TC. Its bone stock and I've been researching the different bolt ons. I opted for the 100,000 Mile warranty and don't to void it. Ill pull off any mods before my service intervals at Scion. I'm wondering what people have done to prepare. I have an idea what exhaust I want. I'm concerned what it will sound like after installation of the S/C. Would a Megan S-Pipe and Midpipe coupled with a TRD exhaust be too annoying once blown? I'd love to get a CAI now but once the SC is installed its useless. Saw the Secret Weapon, but according to the company they haven't fitted it to the 07's MAF sensor.

Your thoughts?

I'll go to a 9.5 psi pulley and hopefully I can keep it on the DL. Anyone else with a 9.5 lb pulley had to deal with dealer service calls under warranty?

LoL the 07 S/C kits have a nice new tamper proof bolt. You take that off and your warranty is voided.

and according to the warranty, ANY modification to the S/C voids the warranty, and even if you do put the parts back, usually a good tech can tell... any intake, header, s/c pulley voids the warranty.

I don't know if there is much of anything you can add to the supercharger or the motor without voiding the warranty on the supercharger itself. Legit options may include, but are not limited to, some sort of engine torque dampener, lightened flywheel(?), LSD, exhaust, quickshifter...what else? You might be able to get away with switching your BPV before and after services but then you gotta question your morals and ethics and all that.
