So installing a stainless guide rod from a non-sig manufacturer will void my warranty?

I suspect there'd only be a problem if there is damage related to the after-market guide rod. (You can always keep your old one and install it if you have to send it back to SIG for warranty work unrelated to the frame or guide rod.)
CZ has warned against using steel guide rods in their alloy-framed compact guns, and said they have seen SOME wear on the receiver stop -- the point where the base of the guide rod rests during recoil -- in their gun. In that case, they could refuse to repair the frame.
The fact that SIG has a steel guide rod available suggest that they aren't concerned about the mismatch of metal hardnesses.
Get the SIG guide rod if you can't live with what came in it!
