yes and no.

you will only loose the warranty on the air intake.

if anything goes wrong with the CAI it will be not under warranty because its aftermarket.

if anything happens to the engine and its because of the CAI the damage would not be covered under warranty.

you will be fine.... just keep in mind 3 things:

install it without damaging anything
sometimes you will need to clean the maf sensor but be careful: dont break that thing!
dont drive the car in to deep water or u will hydrolock the engine ( no warranty)

You would be pretty surprised some of the threads we read on here. It DOES happen.
