You generally will only void the warranty on the part that you replaced. I was told back when I had my warranty that it was perfectly ok to change intake, exhaust, etc. Now if you start doing things like turbo, etc. you'll void the entire engine warranty.

i'd go ahead and put the intake in.... i'm pretty sure that you wouldn't have any problem before your warranty is over..so might as well put the intake in... that's what i did..

I put a CAI in my civic about 3 weeks ago and despite what AEM will tell you, it IS possible to fit a bypass valve on it. Might as well. You can always put the stock air box back in it.
