So anyone who is looking to keep their warranty's in-tact and have a CAI I'd say find one the last few remaining ASAP and buy them because they don't seem to be making anymore.

Did you ever happen to find the exact part# they shipped you that your dealer showed for 21-22 in their system?

Yeah I posted it the other day I thought it’s part# 84877903. I had a case manager from GM corporate at the “Dealer Business Center” which I was assigned because I basically worked my way up the ladder through Chevy.com’s chat and, well kind of Karen’d the situation and forced the issue with the chat people about opening a formal case into the issue. He called from 1-866-790-5600 which is the GM line but I’m not gonna dox the guy and give out his info on the internet. They then contacted my dealerships “customer experience manager” who was the contact at the dealership who coordinated with the service and parts people there and then communicated back and forth with the “Dealer Business Center”. I was then contacted by both my dealerships “customer experience manager” and the GM case manager from the DBC actually a couple of times during the process and by both in the last couple days to both tell me that the intake and the tune from GM are good to go. Both know my plan is to have the intake installed during the PDI when my car arrives and both have assured me that everything will go great.

Nice…damn a lot of leg work there, but got the job done. I may do same or just order the regular one and remove at smog time. CAI told me directly there is zero performance difference. Plus as for warranty GM would have to prove the intake caused the issue for repair if that ever happened.

To be honest by the end of it I was just bound and determined to get it figured out. Yeah I just don’t want to have to worry about the what if’s of an emergency situation and I couldn’t get the intake changed or something. It’s not worth the fight either if I can just roll covered plus I already have the intake in hand so it’s an easy choice for me. Hope you get yours worked out.

I installed mine, made the car run so poorly thought it was gonna implode. Such a drag. Installed OE unit back runs perfect. I installed it twice very methodically, no luck.

My dealer said they couldn’t boot do the MAF remap because its not applicable to 2021 models. I bought 2020 GMPP CAI.

I called GM and made a case and they documented that once installed and the dealer has the Access Code from inside the box that GM will give tech what is needed to reprogram. I made sure that was noted in the file. So fingers crossed should be good to go. Did your dealer even call GM with the code or just tell you no?

The previous GM CAI has been discontinued. There is a new part # but it is on backorder.

Doesn't change the fact that its discontinued and there is is a new part number.

If you have a '22, I'd get the new one. But YMYOM

Do you know the new part number? According to everywhere else the part number I gave and has been mentioned before shows for 2016-2021+. If you do have the new part number I would like to get it. Thank you.

I’m not sure about that. GM has stated publicly that an aftermarket CAI will void your warranty and that they will know (by how it runs or tune count).

If NO modifications are a condition of your warranty, seems to me they are able to deny coverage based purely on evidence you didn’t abide to their terms.

Get the GM approved CAI and avoid a potential hassle.

No sir. Look up Magnusson Moss case. They have to prove without a doubt the part caused the said damage! Been that way for years.

I believe you are correct with regard to Magnusson Moss and modifcations. That said, I got the 1LE to track the car. As such...

I'm thrilled to know GM would cover blowing up a motor while at a road course. In fact, fairly recently, a youtuber money-shifted his camaro and GM STILL covered it. Yes, even though it was completely user error.

With that in mind, I chose to spend the few extra dollars for the GM CAI. I figure it's not the risk. If I were to blow my motor, I want the piece of mind knowing they couldn't even attempt to deny coverage.

How would Magnusson Moss apply to the terms that GM sets for extending coverage to track or drag strip use?

Yes! Chevrolet Will Honor Your Camaro's Warranty If You Take It to the Track
Trackday trouble? No problem, says chief engineer Al Oppenheiser.

APR 1, 2016

The man behind it? Non other than Al Oppenheiser, the Camaro ZL1's chief engineer, a diehard automotive wizard who gives credence to the "gearhead" appellation. "If you're not modifying your car and you take your production car to a track day and you have an issue with one of your parts, it's covered under warranty," he recently told Motor Authority. "We know when somebody changes their ECM calibration and we know if they changed to a cold-air intake, we can tell all that. But driving it as you break pit in from the dealership, if you have a half-shaft or whatever, it's covered
