They are correct about the 550 diffuser only having one outlet, as you can only get quads w/M5. If you get M5 diffuser, then it will have quad outlets.

As for other stuff, most dealers apparently know nothing about the Magnusson-Moss Warranty act, but basically, they cannot void your warranty unless the mod you did was responsible for the failure that you want covered by warranty. If you are not in the U.S., then I assume it would be a different story.

The dealer seems to be clueless and wanted you to spend your money w/ them instead w/ other vendor.

What? Inspect? They must be on crack... in that case you are stuck... either keep it stock or spend your money on the dealer.

What year is your car? If I'm w/ your dealer they'll ban me all the way considering what I've done

Magnusson-Moss has nothing to do with whether a warranty can be voided for this reason. I suggest reading the text of the actual act for further clarification. It speaks to tie-ins and that's about the extent of it.
