You shouldnt have warranty issues with an intake.
At the end of the day Mazda have to have some kind of proof that the intake caused any issues that are warrantable. Modifying a car in anyway brings some risk to warranty work - if you are worried about warranty dont mod..
It all depends on which stealership you go to for servicing etc, if in doubt ask your friendly service manager, if no go just use a new dealership.
In NSW an intake needs to be enclosed, with a full intake you may be okay (as they cant see the pod, its down behind the fog light). So its not exactly legal - there are some enclosures (COBB make one) or you could fab up your own.
At the moment I have the mazdaspeed CAI but I am only running the top bit (so its basically an SRI). If you get pulled over its simple enough to switch it over when you get home to get it cleared again by the RTA. You should be fairly safe though.. the MPS (in first gen anyway) is a sleeper - I have not had any police attention so far.
