On my 5th gen i put one on and never had any issues.

Your right. If more air is being detected through the maf, then more fuel to balance out the a/f ratio. Dont let the dealership try to explain aftermarket performance parts is cause of check engine lights. In some cases yes, but they will always try to rule out that non oem parts will be the culprit. Then they may throw around the "warranty voided" scare tactic.
GM and other manufacturers are very well aware of air intake systems and know for a fact that they are generally better than oem. Otherwise gmpp would not offer a part that is the same architecture design as injen, K&N, etc.
You may need a "calibration" as they call it, basically remapping the MAF to pull in the g/cm3 correctly and balance out your air/fuel ratio. Its basically making the computer know that an air intake is installed.
