Cold Air Intake and New Car Warranty

[smeg555]

Hey Guys,

I am thinking of purchasing a cold air intake for my VE SS like this one on ebay (VE V8 COMMODORE SS INDUCTIONS COLD AIR KIT CAI029 - eBay Air Filters, Induction Kits, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 29-Apr-08 15:07:25 AEST)), although would this void the warranty?

I have always fitted COI to my previous cars but this is the first with a new car warranty

Thanks

David

Well the intake itself won't be covered but if you retain the MAF (which the SS Inductions Growler does) then you won't void any other part of your warranty.

Although the SS Inductions Growler is expensive for limited power gains. Having had the Growler on my VE Calais, I would never buy one again.

Go for an ORSSOM Over the Radiator (OTR) CAI.

This is my setup... (yes my engine bay was dirty when i took these pics)

CAI Pty Ltd - Orssom Performance OTRCAI Products for all the info you need mate. This is the best value for money CAI for the VE if you ask me.

If you go supercharger, you will need a pod setup as the pipe is offset and larger diameter. I would recommend a Harrop kit - includes everything you need. If you choose an intercooled kit, then you won't need a pod either.

Yes... This is the only OTRCAI that lets you retain the MAF. It comes setup for MAFless but a hacksaw on the pre-marked line fixes that. You just need to buy one extra hose clamp as the OEM setup only has three. For MAFless you need two but for retaining the MAF you need 4 hose clamps.

I bought a CAI on ebay from "orgional parts company" Very happy with the product and the service. Only thing I did extra was make an extra bracket to hold the pod filter from moving around behind the driving light. I also made an air scoop underneath the body to force cold air into it.
