I'm considering changing to a cold air intake. Has anyone used the Gm unit or know how good they are. I know it will keep my warranty in tact.

It is not released for sale as of yet.

Don't be fooled by the warranty warning they give you.

It's only voided IF the aftermarket part is the reason of the problem you get (if you get one) so you should be 100% fine with any intake (if you were doing this only cause the fear of a voided warranty)

If not..gl!

Correct. Give this a read. And here is some info on air intakes.

If you have any questions feel free to hit me up.

Thanks for all the help as the dealer preaches warranty issues possible.

Sorry to thread jack, but what is a 2011 RS/2SS LT?
Is LT for long tubes?

thestump · 12-28-2010, 09:58 PM

It should be just the 2SS I stand corrected

thestump · 12-28-2010, 09:59 PM

It says 2SS coupe on the window sticker but comes with the RS package do I need to include that in the description?

patrickt · 12-28-2010, 10:09 PM

I have never seen an aftermarket intake cause a warranty issue but I will have the GM onbes once they are available which I am told should be soon!

Kahdir · 12-28-2010, 10:14 PM

Go for it

There are plenty of good cold air intakes out there, don't let warranty dictate which one you get... besides, I doubt any dealer other than possibly the one selling you the intake and installing it would honor any warranty work relating to induction

(with the amount of dealership mark-up on parts and labor rates, you would be able to replace any sensors or related parts that could fail)

Thank you, that thread about air stakes really helped me out in deciding and understanding what I need to look out for.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark, but I bet the price on the GM intake is going to be higher than the balls on a giraffe.....

....just guessing.

Not anymore than the rest of the CAI on the market from what I understand. The one on the GMPP site list it for $315.00 but then again who knows. LOL

I've waited MONTHS for GM to release their intake. Was even stated by a GM higher up that it would be October. NOTHING. They didn't even keep us informed of the progress.
I said screw it and bought the Vararam and have not looked back. This intake is KICKASS. GM's will probably be the ol' L shaped design anyway. If you want that design there are plenty of good ones out there now.
