In cases where such a failed aftermarket part is responsible for a warranty claim, the manufacturer must arrange a settlement with the part manufacturer, but the new vehicle warrant is not void under the law. "If the failure to honor a claim involves the new-vehicle warranty, and it appears that the manufacturer is improperly denying a claim, the incident should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC is responsible for monitoring compliance with the warranty law; the agency's telephone number is 202.326.3128."

Where did you get all of that information? Do you have a link to the FTC regarding this?
If the product meets factory specs, then no the warranty cannot be void, but adding a supercharger to an N/A engine, or K&N air filter is not factory spec.
The SEMA website states what I stated earlier.

It is also covered in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
