Void warranty?....

Will a CAI void your factory warranty?. I called infiniti today and asked them. They said yes, any mod to engine would void the warranty. Any of you know this as a fact? I know alot of you have put CAI's on. Or if you have one on and have a warranty issue do you put your stock air intake back on before you take her in to the shop.

Thanks

They can say that, but the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act says it does not, unless Infiniti can prove that a failure was caused by your CAI.

Of course, if there were an issue, you may have to battle it, but unless you're doing serious upgrades, such as super/turbo charger, then you're not going to cause issues.

Intakes/Exhausts don't void warranties. Now, if you get a CAI that sucks air in from a low point, such as the wheel well, and run the car through deep enough water to suck water into the engine and cause hydrolock, that would void your warranty.

Thank you Ryoken,

I am thinking of a AEM intake and I think Ill go with the straight shoot intake instead of the corkscrew down at bumper level just to be safe.

thank you

The ones that go down into the wheel well do have bypass valves that you can open in bad weather to prevent that hydrolock problem.
