I hate to be a jerk, but you have to pay to play. Any, and I mean ANY, mod that boosts power can jeopardize the chance of a hassle-free warranty claim. The dealer can easily blame any mod that increases power....be it intakes, HFC, pulleys, etc. The motor is warrantied at the power level it left the factory. Anything you do to alter it can be grounds enough for the dealer to hold up your car. In the US, the law states that the dealer has to prove the mod did the damage. Any mechanical failure can easily be pointed to extra power. But all the dealer needs to do to ruin you day is hold up your car and wait for you to fight it in court. Do you have the time and money to fight it? You might be right in the end, but you could be out the repair cost while the courts sort it out (and the dealer can drag it out for years...). Remember, the law is what is eventually enforced, but the dealer may choose to not follow it until the courts make them. Look at speed limits...they don't stop me from speeding, they just cost me money if I am found guilty by a court. Good luck. I hope the dealer finds a smoking gun and it is clearly not related to power......
