Have any of you installed the GM performance parts exhaust or cold air intake? I would like to use these for warrantee reasons as well as there ease of installation. The only thing is they don't list any performance gains for these parts. My question to any one that's installed them is what type of gains if any you have seen? These parts are well made and quite expensive, so there's got to be more reason than aesthetics for using them. Thanks for your feedback!

Say if you have aftermarket intake and something goes wrong with the engine, GM will not cover the problem and can say the intake caused that problem. So sticking with GM Parts, will not void the warranty because it is made by the original manufacturer.

 

- Same goes for tunes, programmers, etc.

I have never heard of either of these two components voiding a manufacturer's warranty.That is why I asked.

I do know that they simply can not say something causes a problem,they have to prove it does.

If something DOES go wrong (And it shouldn't, I use to go mudding with my 2500HD with a K&N aircharger kit installed, never locked the motor up) just put the stock intake back on.

I understand where you are coming from the warranty perspective, but depending on the dealer and the issue you have at hand, they shouldn't blame some thing for something else. In other words, if you have a transmission problem, your intake/exhaust would have nothing to do with it. I had my truck dropped, intake, and programmed ECU. and whenever i took it to the dealer for a popping noise when i turned, it didn't affect it, they didn't even mention anything about the mods. now obviously if you take it for a problem with your MAF sensor or something then yes i woudl place the stock part back in and then approach the dealer, but that is why you buy a dry filter intake to avoid build up on the mAF sensor.

I'm running the GMPP Borla dual exhaust on my 2008 5.3 Silverado. I estimate about +(6-10) hp with just this addition with respect to the stock 315 hp just by a seat of the pants feeling. It sounds amazing when you get on the gas. I have a video I made with a soundclip but because of my crappy dial up I can't upload it. I'll try again this week to see if I can get it up for you. The quality of this system is really good. The tips are A+ in quality. Nice chrome with bowties stamped on the part of the tips facing upward. The only bad part about the system is that I never want to drive easy with it now because I want to hear it rev up while accelerating hard all the time. My only gripe is that if you're doing about 65 mph on the highway and the conditions are just right, the truck wants to keep switching from V4-V8 mode continuously. This changes the exhaust note just a bit which could get annoying if you have the music down low and you're trying to have a conversation. It's not drone, it's just a noticable sound change you get when the system changes that is indistinguishable with the stock exhaust. If I'm driving by myself I usually have the music at about 1/3-1/2 volume and you can't hear it at all then.

So did you install the exhaust yourself? Was it part number 88968547? I didn't relize this was made by Borla.?.?

 

Out of all the gear heads around hear none of you installed the GMPP Performance Air Intake? It's only $340 and comes with a nice crome cover and intake tube for your engine compartment. Part #17800809

Well, it can be a bit pricey compared to some alternatives out there. But if ya do a search, or check a few sigs, I'm sure you'll find there are more who have it installed. :sleep: Been running mine for awhile now, great mod. Figure if I can't get 30HP from a CAI, it might as well look nice!

I have the K&N intake on mine (got it for $90 shipped brand new in the box) and the dealer has not sail a single thing about it.

 

Probably because you haven't had a MAF sensor or TB issue yet. Not saying or implying you will, but IF you do, it could give them an excuse to deny your warranty claim. Though I doubt the dealer would do that anyway. They get paid for warranty work by GM, so they have nothing to lose.

Correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt it be better if the tube was straight instead of curving around? I mean, the tube design is where your gaining you hp, not the filter.

      Winter Returned

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
