It shouldn't void your entire warranty though. You may want to talk it up with your dealer.
In any case, if you just plan to use it as a daily driver, whether or not your have the differential installed will only show if you took a 90 degree turn at something like 40 mph. Then you'll feel the rear give out a bit since I think if you don't get the VLSD, it's probably just an open 2 way.

The VLSD, is a viscous LSD, not torsen.
Quaife is not a clutch type LSD, but rather a gear type LSD. Torsen and quaife are both gear type LSDs.
