No, the dealer will only void the warranty if they find that the intake was the cause of the problem.

Some dealers try and find any reason to void the warranty. The intake being one.

its fine,,,
as long as you dont suck up a load of water driving thru waist deep flooding- then expect help when the engine hydrolocks

by law- they have to PROVE a direct cause and effect relationship of any mod to a failure
Examples- lower the car and forget about CV /axle warranty- but engine trans would still be covered
Put a blower on the motor and forget engine warranty

Welcome to Azine!

Read up on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. It'll tell you what you need to know.

Hint: Using the search function to search for "void warranty" would have found several threads on this subject.
