Well if you really want to get into it with GM, I know plenty of engineers who can prove that a CAI will fry an engine and trans.
And if you read the Mag-Moss Act, it applies to direct replacement parts, not "upgrades."

I don't really want to get into it with GM but they evidently didn't want to get into it with SEMA, or my lawyer either, :shrug: . Out of morbid curiosity I'd to see how a properly functioning and installed CAI would fry an engine, unless it pushed the engine into an extremly lean condition and holed a piston or something, id especially like to see how it would fry a trans.
I have read the Act. It basically says that if you have a CAI (for example) the intake is no longer warranted. Anything downstream is covered, unless the warrantor can prove it caused the failure. Basically anything you replace is no longer covered. If some other part fails the burden is on the warrantor to prove the failure was the result of the aftermarket part, sec 2302c. If they can't they have to fix it.
