Dealer said that my CAI Inc. CAI cover blocks airflow.

He had no idea how the air actually got into the intake...

I love my dealer.

Take your car back in to the same guy & ask him if he could please personally show you where to put the [TURN SIGNAL] fluid in.

Alright, mine told me my stainless Steel brake lines were restricting brake fluid flow, thus they overheated and turned my Red Calipers brown. Since the brake lines weren't OEM it was on me.

Your dealer would have a better future as a government employee of some sort.

Ask him how the stock intake is any better according to his logic.
