No it won't. They may threaten you but quote them the Magnuson-Moss Act. That should shut them up.

Interesting... Did a little digging on that and came up with this site... Pretty good read.

http://www.impalaclub.com/naisso/magmoss.htm

I like this part:
"Nearly everyone has heard about someone who has taken a vehicle that has been modified with aftermarket parts to a dealer for warranty service, only to have the dealer refuse to cover the defective items. The dealer usually states that because of the aftermarket parts the warranty is void, without even attempting to determine whether the aftermarket part caused the problem.

This is illegal.

Vehicle manufacturers are not allowed to void the vehicle warranty just because aftermarket parts are on the vehicle
."

Thanks for mentioning this racinjimy!
