Noob Question: Cat-Back And CAI - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Powhusku · 08-01-2011, 11:51 PM

I'm planning on installing a Cold Air Inductions CAI as well as a Corsa Cat-Back system. When I install these, will one or the other or both cause the engine or systems to have issues (check engine light ect.) and require a tune? If so, is there anyway to avoid the tune? I absolutely don't want to void my power-train warranty. I have pretty much zero experience with modifications on modern cars apart from regular maintenance. I just want to know what to expect when I install these two and how to fix any issues . All input is much appreciated!

you have nothing to worry about with those mods.

hollywood21639 · 08-02-2011, 12:12 AM

nope. no problems

Juiced1 · 08-02-2011, 12:23 AM

Your good to go, catbacks and intakes were meant to be added. Don't worry about voiding your warranty till you get to custom tunes and long tube headers.

Powhusku · 08-02-2011, 12:45 AM

Well that's good to hear! Thanks for the help guys. Cant wait to order these babies!

Lucavi · 08-02-2011, 01:00 AM

That's good news for me as well. Thank you.

I have the Cold Air Inductions CAI and love it

, no CEL and no issues. You dont have to get a tune, but I know you can to get even better gains. I know the CAI does not void any warranties. I am adding the ADM scoop soon as well as an exhaust, then I will probably get a tune just to optimize my gains, but its not needed. You are selecting a good combo, I cant speak for the exhaust but I know you will love the CAI! Post some pics when your finished, hope I helped you out a little bit.

Nvincent4708 · 08-02-2011, 02:13 PM

what's a warranty? hahaha.. just kidding.

No sir, you won't have any issue. Sometimes they like to blame vibrations and noises on exhaust though, so if you have a dealer like that. find another.

MattMan · 08-09-2011, 12:04 AM

Great news for me too! LOL

Powhusku · 08-22-2011, 03:04 PM

Got the CAI an hour ago, install took about 20-30 mins. Very easy. Looks and sounds fantastic!

Camaro2SSRS · 08-22-2011, 08:46 PM

Looks great! Good fit? Any modifications needed?

Powhusku · 08-22-2011, 09:06 PM

Nope, zero mods needed. Fit like a glove. Also got the exhaust on. Took about 1.5 hours to install. I absolutely love the sound.

Thanks Juiced1 for providing such good salesmanship on both upgrades!
