Anybody have any info on what this installation would do to the factory warranty? My suspicion is that it would cause my local Pontiac dealer to disavow all knowledge of my ride even being a GM product!On the other hand, waiting until my five-years of warranty expire will result in never getting any mechanical improvements made.On the third hand ( ), my Vibe GT w/17 inchers is certainly adequate as it sits right now.

The dealership can't say your warrenty is void because you added a CAI, or any other aftermarket part. Most dealerships say this either because they are stupid when it comes to federal law or there upset you didn't buy the aftermarket part from them. If they do claim you have voided your warrenty they are breaking Federal law. If this happens I have posted info at the link below.What to do when warranty is Deniedhttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=101I have listed phone numbers to call if this happens to anyone. The ferderal government will fix the problem once you have reported the problem to them.The way this works with voiding your warrenty is what ever you replace or change the warrenty on that part of the vehicle will be void. Ok here's a example. I changed the intake on my car to a CAI. I removed the intake tep sensor and moved it. I moved the MAF sensor and replaced the piping that the engine draws it's air supply in with. The only thing that the warrent is now void on is the CAI MAF and intake temp sensors.If the engine throws a rod through the block your warrenty can't be denied because you have a CAI on it. Only the parts you replaced or moved wont be covered.Hope this makes sense.
