Does adding a aftermarket fmic void warranty?

Im looking at buying a evo that has an upgraded aftermarket intercooler with hardpipes and mini battery. This shouldnt void the warranty if something was to break right? Ive always heard the part has to be proven that it caused whatever to break. Does anyone know about this or had experience with this?

If you add a disco ball on your windshied, it'll probably void warranty, so yes, it will.

if when you close the door, you close it grabbing the top of the door and not by the handle the result will be motor detonation and warranty voided
