Yup it sure does. Well the drivetrain warrenty at least. If your windows stop rolling down or something that should still be covered.

No it does not void your warranty unless the mod part is the direct result for the issue. IE. If you install a CAI and your transmission fails, your transmission will be fixed under the warranty as the CAI has nothing to do with it.

Now if you install a boost controller and blow your engine, then yah your warranty might be voided IF they can prove you had a boost controller or you're stupid enough to leave it on for warranty work. Until you really start doing big things (FMIC, New TMIC, Bigger Turbo, Non-PiggyBack ECU, ETC.) that you don't remove prior to taking it in for Warranty work, you really don't have to worry so much.

makes sense..

No such thing as voided warranties. They just deny claims for you if something you did causes something else to break.
Some dealers are more lax than others.
