I really want to add a cold air intake to my Honda, but I’m worried it will invalidate my warranty. My friend says it’s fine, but I want to double-check. Will a cold air intake void my Honda warranty?

Adding a cold air intake to your Honda will not void the warranty. Unless the manufacturer can prove that the cold air intake was a source of damage, they cannot cancel your warranty just for installing an aftermarket part.
Here are some reasons that your warranty may be voided:
If your Honda gets into a severe accident that results in a salvaged title
If your vehicle is damaged while racing, off-road driving, or overloading (in cases where these activities are not recommended for the type of Honda you have)
If a natural disaster causes damage to your Honda
If the odometer is tampered with, disconnected, or changed
Your warranty won’t cover everything. That’s why most drivers opt to add car insurance coverage to make sure their vehicle is protected. The Jerry
