I believe legally as long as you have the work done by a professional the manufacturer can't deny the warranty coverage.
But I guess they COULD say the non-dealer mechanic that did the change messed up and you need to sue him. That would be really uncomforable for most people, who have some kind of relationship with their mechanic.
It might be worth consulting a lawyer re this-- if so most manufacturers could deny coverage to most of their customers with slightly older cars.
