Having the resonators removed (red circles) and having straight pipes welded in will do nothing regarding emissions. There is no impact on your warranty either.
Changing the cats (yellow circles) to HFC should not have an impact on passing emissions. Warranty, the dealer has to prove changing these parts caused the problem to deny your warranty claim.
Changing the cats to test pipes (yellow circles) WILL have an impact on passing emissions. Same deal here as above, the dealer has to prove changing these specific parts caused a problem to deny your warranty claim.
I always keep the stock parts so you can revert back to stock.
