There was a law passed in the US in the 70's called the magnusson-Moss act of 1975. That states that in order for the auto company to void your warranty they have to completely prove that the aftermarket part caused the damage. They can't say that your cold air intake blew out your clutch. They also can't completely void the warranty, just the coverage on the changed part. You can't go to the dealership for warranty work on your cai, or custom exhaust.
Here's a Site that explains it better than I

LOL, you kids and your Magnusson-Moss act. That act isn't worth the paper it's printed on. If you think it's going to help you at all your kidding yourself.

Here is an example of how the act fails miserably:

You install an intake. Your clutch blows. You go to a dealer and they see your intake and say "well your clutch was designed for 205hp and since you've added an intake you aren't making stock horsepower therefore your clutch will not be covered under warranty." It is that easy to "prove" the part you installed caused the failure. Using this theory you can effectively void every part on the powertrain and chassis as well as some electrical components since you will have to take your maf off and put it on the new intake.

The fact is you have to pay to play and if you want warranty don't play. I'm not saying this to be a ****, but I'm saying it to protect the members of this site from getting slammed with pricey repair bills because they heard some guy on the internet saying it was ok to mod their car. It's ok, but don't expect GM to cover your breakdowns.

Ultimately it comes down to your dealership and the tech servicing your car. I know several techs at the local dealership and they basically have told me that if your car is modded and you bring it in they will do it under warranty as long as it's an easy fix and they can make some money. If not they will just deny the warranty claim and charge you a fortune to fix it.
