Mods will not void your warranty by themselves. If they are proven the cause of a failure, THEN the repair won't be under warranty...

That gives a great explanation of what is legally allowed by manufacturers in respect to warranty voiding.

In 1979, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act made it illegal for a manufacturer to void a new vehicle warranty if the consumer uses non-OEM parts.
Definitely read it for background and tips.

However, running your car into a tree while trying to hit v-tec range on local roads to hear the CAI sound will void the warranty
