From what I read the car runs hot and I am worried that if I install the Stillen exhaust and air intake and something wrong happens due to the heat they will void my engine warranty. Should I be worried? What needs to be done?
I'm surprise your car did not went into limp mode. I would not worry other than getting mad, that is why you have the factory warranty.

However, the Stillen exhaust and air intake does not have anything to do with the car oil overheating. The The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects you from stupid service department that might want to blame other problems on exhaust and air intake as per your case.
