All the aftermarket CAI's seem to do is eliminate the corrugated tube and a put a cone filter in place.
I agree, and for whatever that's worth I'll take it. Though I imagine most of the benefits of the bigger filter and smoother tube might be negated and corrected for by the ecm in modern cars. At the end of the day when I start modding heavier the cai will pay dividends so might as well get the warrantied one while i still enjoy my warranty

I ended up ordering the GM Air Intake through GM Parts Direct for about $400 which was great. Unfortunately my dealer just charged me $270 for the installation, which I can't wrap my head around

Track test results after running one at Cota for 2 days. Made it sound a little louder or was it the sound tube foam delete or the combo.
