If you search around on the forum there are a lot of threads on the legality of the mods/warranty. I have had my car in under warranty with my intakes and oil cooler with no problem. I told the dealer I am installing a CBE and they said this also would not be a problem. They did caution me against installing the headers until the warranty runs out because this could cause issues. I personally don't understand what the big fuss was over the headers but this isn't a problem for me because my warranty runs out next spring and I am going to put the car in the garage for the winter in about a month.

The long and short of it is it depends on the dealer that you use and whether or not the mods caused a problem. For routine maintenance they shouldn't bother you.
