Void your warranty? it shouldnt, unless they can prove that the intake caused the damage.
Better gas mileage? maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends. Some people saw
a little increase, i saw a 50 mile loss in my range (310 miles till fillup from 360 in stock form).
The easiest one to install would be the stillen. It uses the factory intake tube and all you do is swap out the box.

S&B was super easy. Just one bolt and 3 band clamps. It is only loud when you want it to be, my mileage has gone down, but it has only been on a couple of weeks. I'm hoping it will come back to where it was after a few hundred miles.

The AEM wasn't "hard"to install, nor was it "easy". It was medium. You really don't need to follow the directions verbatim. For example, I didn't jack up the truck and thus didn't remove the LFT. So, as you might expect, I didn't fasten those 4 small bolts between the new box and the truck itself. The box was plenty study with just the 2 bolts.
The biggest ***** was the wiper fluid resevoir. I hate that ****er.

I have the Fram version of the AEM. I like prefered the intake tube color to the AEM's shiny version. The Fram is more a grayish. Plus it's a dry filter too, so no oil to mess with. Can hear it if I really step on it and the radio is off. Like Mathews said, the worst part is the washer resevoir. Lost a fair amount of knuckle skin getting it out of the way.

For the AEM, there is no need to take out the washer bottle. Just yank at the box. I made a HOW-TO guide when i installed mine. Its in the How-to/DIY forum if your interested in seeing what is involved.
