theres countless threads on what will and will not void your warranty. Please note the main point... as posted below:

Honda, by law, can NOT refuse repairs under warranty for having modification that to NOT affect the problematic area.

Example: You put an intake in and your brakes fail. Honda can NOT refuse warranty on the brakes due tot he intake.

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

they shouldnt unless something happens to your car and they can prove that your mod is what caused the problem. this goes with any mod. its a federal law, i forget the name, its like the something and moss act, something like that, i'm sure someone else will post it.

EDIT: sorry, he beat me to it....
