With that said, if you brought a car with an aftermarket intake system into the dealer with engine repair issues, it would be pretty easy for them to say the engine management software calibration was now not as accurate which caused the engine to run outside of parameters designed by the manufacturer. I would imagine they would also bring up the fact that their own intake system includes an engine management calibration.
If you decided to calibrate it yourself with aftermarket software then the car may no longer be compliant with EPA and Smog laws, so that is also an easy out for them. Just ask Harley Davidson.
So, while I'm sure you could find someway to try to fight this, what I said above still is true.

I agree. It's not that the MM act gives you free reign to modify your car with the hopes that the dealership has to prove what you did broke your car.
sadly, it boils down to who has the most money, and who has the better lawyers. I'd be willing to bet, most of us don't have as much money, or better lawyers than gm. So unless it's absolutely without a shadow of a doubt something else that broke your car, you can be willing to bet all gm has to do is drain you dry past the point of it being worth it anymore, even if it's painfully obvious to you and others that it is something gm should handle.
