hey guys. just about to order a K&N intake for my 2.2L and it has the SAI and the only intake that will fit it is the K&N and i want to order it asap but want to make sure they will not void my cars warranty. does anyone have any information about this and if they can or will void the warranty?

 

depends on the dealer, but because K&N uses oil, they may force you to pay if it messes up your MAF etc.

The GMPP filters are all dryflow like AEM, so I'd stick with AEM or other dry ones if you are worried.

 

I want to switch to a dryflow, can anyone tell me what filter will fit the injen CAI for the SS/SC?

 

uhhh, look by size... i believe that's a 3 inch pipe, in which case, get the 3 inch dryflow.

 

I understand that part, but is the length and diameter the same as the Injen? Will it fit in the fender right? That injen is a tight fit already, if I got a AEM that was a little bit bigger I could have rubbing issues. If you do not know then know big deal, I will ask someone that already has one.

 

i already ordered the AEM dry flow filter so this wouldn't happen. other than that i should be all set for warranty correct?

 

i have a K&N in my car. Ive brought it in to the dealer a couple times for warranty work. Like they have to replace my computer cause it fried. They didnt say anything to me about it.

 

ok good. i wouldn't imagine it could void the warranty. its just an aftermarket air box.

 

They cant say anything as long as theres some kind of filter on the end of it. The had to remove my K&N intake to get to my computer. Then they just threw it back on and sent me on my way.

 

SEARCH!!! THere are plenty of threads on the warrenty stuff.. it wont void your warrenty if it doesnt cause a problem..

 

As said ^^^ it all depends on the dealer. I've been to half a dozen now, they all say something different. I REALLY miss Saturn of Joliet in IL. Saturn of Charlotte has the absolute worst service manager imo. IF they see anything that resembles a mod, they wont touch the car "under warranty".

 

I'm sorry, but what's an SAI??

So from the looks of that link, from just scanning, it looks like it doesn't effect 2.4's, correct?

 

Thats right the 2.4 LE5 does not have SAI

 

Here is a link to the dry flow that fits the injen.

AEM DRY FLOW Replacement Filter Fits Injen Intake

 

5" long or less. with the 3" opening

 

Air five for the 2.4's! *waa-chh*

That sucks for the 2.2's though. Pretty soon they're gonna make it that you're gonna have to take the car to the dealership to put air in the tires. And if you change the air filter, and it's not a valid-GM-code number 328475839284747, it throws a code and your car won't run. At all. **** sucks.

 

HAHA but im one of those 2.2Ls that got it early enough not to have that stupid SAI crap.. so im good to go with any mani or anything...!!!! YAY for Me!!!

 

god i hate my sai!
