Any News On a GM 2.0 CAI
But if i do any of those then i risk getting bs'd on my warranty. i know if something goes wrong they have to prove it was that part that did it but they have their ways of bullshitting you and refusing the fix the problem
you won't have any problems with the airbox mod...
Shees why does everyone act like their car is gonna blow up if they mod? You bought a tuner car... now grab your tools and get out there and tune.
Seriously... read the thread called "airbox modification" and you'll see what I mean. If anything goes wrong at all... it takes like 5 mins to put the stock filter back on and seal her back up again... then you take it to the dealer with the stock airbox on there and say "I don't know what happened, the car is stock"
Perhaps I also need to mention that I haven't had my car in the dealership for a single performance related problem... ever.
Alignment... yeah... body work (got rear ended) yeah... but never a single powertrane related problem.
These cars are pretty stout when it comes to the basic stuff.
People start messing things up when they go to 60lb injectors and 2.7 or smaller pullies.

i wouldnt waste my time on a air box mod if anything i would get the intake i want and throw the stock one back on when i take it to the dealer. im not worried about the Part ruining the car things do go when you beat the car all the time and put more strain on the engine when you mod but i just dont want to have to deal with anything i want to put it on and if something happens i wont have to worry about anything or take it off if i had a GM intake i wouldnt have that problem
Yeah Gm Is Stupid to Stop The SS S/C. would there be anyway to know that i had an aftermarket intake on if i took the aftermarket off and put the stock one back on when i bring it in to the dealer?
Not if you took it back off when you brought it in.
I was merely pointing out that it would be easier to put the airbox mod back to stock than have to uninstall an entire CAI.
Plus many of the CAI's for the SS/SC either have fitment issues (Injen & Fujuta) or throw codes (K&N). So your choices are limited.

nope... you're looking at the wrong one

this one is the correct method... leaves the stock airbox completely in-tact... just removes the bottom which screws off.

I did the airbox mod in 2 hours... and that was taking my time... you could probably do it in one.
Oh... and on the AEM intake... good idea there Red... except the AEM intake is just a little metal elbow that you can't even see from under the hood... all it does is replace the airbox. I honestly couldn't justify the $150 or so to even get it.
If you've got a jack and some stands and can get under the car the mod is a piece of cake.
