from what the dealers told me, this does not void warranty. however, if it is the intake that caused the damage, then it is not covered. more or less, the warranty wil not cover any damages that are the result of after market parts, but if the car does break due on their part, then it is covered

AEM Intake
Hey guys just for a little insider tip.....I called Stillen the other day to order an intake (AEM CAI) and I told the salesman that I found it for $215 here in Louisville, KY and he said "Well if I give it to you for $210 will you order it today....of course I did + $15 for shipping so you might want to use this strategy when dealing with these people....good luck
Brian (2003 Sunburst Spec-V) I paid $225 for my intake shipped. |

yes it will norromaly void warranty but if you have a cool tech he will not care. but i say you are better off taking it off if you need to get warranty work done. Most techs will not due it b/c warranty work pays them half what customer paying work pays so most will call you on intake.

i checked with my dealer and they say it;s alright for the intake. The parts guy and one of the techs drive specs and says its okay as well, so guess i got a pretty cool dealership

Well from what I understand bolt ons are ok for the most part (intake header exhaust and even suspension work) but I think it's things like internals that they frown on (pistons, cams, etc) and oh yea they don't really care for turbos or blowers either....Just my little two cents.

Your mod has to be the cause of the problem. If you get an intake and your maf goes, it's not covered. If you get a header and your cat goes, it's not covered. If you get springs and your dampers go, it's not covered, etc. But if you get an intake and your trunk release goes out, then obviously it's still under warranty.

Well yea I understand that...I mean if all you have is an intake header and exhaust and you bend some valves, I don't think the intake had anything to do with that.

Chances are that none of the mods caused that, but the problem is that the dealers will try to pin anything they can on your mods so they can get out of doing the work (warranty work pays something like half as much as other work), and they would most likely blame that on the intake even without proof. Technically this is illegal and you could call them on it but it would be too much of a hassle for what it's worth, it would be better to just go to another dealer.

Nice Noise?
So the AEM CAI boosts your car by how much hp? and if you guys are saying it will make a nice sound, i'll get one too!

most of the time like 10-15 hp boost but it depends on how much air flow it is getting

Actually it's more like 5hp. The sound is so intoxicating though

Oh yea I will agree..the AEM CAI sounds very good..especially at around 5,000 or just when you get on it really hard.
