I’ve already done all the research. We shouldn’t be killing ourself for something GM supposedly stands behind!! I shouldn’t be doing THEIR job and putting forth all the effort and still getting screwed. As for using other CAI, they’ve already sold thousands and others haven’t had any issues I’ve seen. This should be boycott until GM makes this smooth for their loyal customers this is embarrassing from a company standpoint.

Hmm never saw it on GM parts, but maybe they can see that part. $30 more than other places I’ve seen but they’ll probably try to install it now and charge for that too..

So all other intakes should be fine then, but what is it that the GM one does so much than the others in order to bring in that much air REQUIRING a tune? That’s good to know though.

Exactly I would think EVERY dealer could easily handle hooking a cable up to a damn OBD part. Wish I got paid to hook up a cable.

I agree with you, but I woulda thought out of half a dozen deleraships the techs or the service advisors/managers would have had ONE case where they’ve been through this process... This is why they get a bad rep.

(Bold) It doesn't. It is simply a tune that goes hand in hand with the intake that will also maintain your warranty. "Required" is subjective at best. The Chevrolet Performance link that lists both the SS and V6 GM intakes doesn't even mention a tune, just as one wasn't sold with the Z/28 intake for the SS before. Looking at the thread here for the intake, it says it comes with a calibration code that a GM dealer needs to flash your car with, but it doesn't say that the tune is needed. If I had to guess, it would be for emissions reasons more than anything else.
