Try a search.....lots of threads on modding/voiding warranty.
Short answer is no, not unless the dealer can prove that your mod caused said problem.
In reality, be aware that some dealers won't play ball.

what are you afraid of? most dealerships now are not **** about this type of stuff. i have the hks installed and they don't have a problem with it. Everytime i bring my car in, i tell them to be careful raising it up because of my underglow...they just ignore the fact that you have mods for the most part. i live around so cal so that may be a reason. if it's bugging you too much, go to your service dept, and find a guy in the back...any guy. just say listen i wanna bring my car in for service but i have mods done. i don't want the dealership to void my warranty, so would you mind doing the service on the car and not telling them about my mods so they don't get upset? i did this in the past, but now i really don't need to. dealerships are becoming more liberal every day. i know someone who has a g35 coupe on LEASE, and put everything on it, including nitrous. still gets serviced by the dealer, no questions asked.

It's a violation of federal law to refuse warranty service for use of aftermarket parts unless they can prove the failure was caused by the parts. It's that simple.
A dealer might attempt to give you crap about it, but generally if you demonstrate you're aware of the law they back down. There's certainly crappy dealerships happy to screw over folks unaware of the law though I'm sure.
