With that said, you can definitely fight it. How many people want to go through a lengthy negotiation or court battle over an intake? Also, if/when you do, I would imagine GMs lawyers have a bit of practice at it so keep that in mind.
The simplest way is to not mod engine related things. If you do, then plan on dealing with the repercussions when time for warranty work.

Exactly. Most people mis-interpret the MM act. If the part you are placing on the car is different from OEM specs then MM doesn't apply to you. The dealer doesn't have to prove anything unless you want to pay all the legal fees to take them to court over it. You could try and get your dealer to install it and that might help but, honestly, a CAI gives zero gain without a tune so it is pretty much a waste of money. Once you tune the car kiss the warranty goodbye.
