    Just came here after 3 years to update everyone. I already had an AEM CAI installed when I installed this product and I will say I've driven several times from NJ to Florida and back without any issues. I never got any codes and it didn't void my warranty. However, I do recommend you put that cap that comes with it on when take it to the dealer so that everything appears stock. I also want to mention that on those trips it greatly improved MPG on the highway, especially just cruising with the cruise control on as opposed to before the mod. And finally...... The question everyone's been wondering...... Does it add hp and make the car faster? It does. Just not dramatically. The car is definitely way peppier. It does have a little more boost. But its not something crazy. Its definitely noticable. Just don't expect to break your neck with the g forces or something. And now ... Would I get it again or recommend others to get it? I mean... I personally probably would have just gone with the Tri tune instead. But if you've got the money to spare or find a good deal, why not? It definitely makes the car a little more fun to drive. Go for it, if you've got the money. If you don't, save up and go for the full tri tune instead. The tri tune takes into account exhaust mods and intake mods specifically and it has the option to disable the autostart/stop. That's why I would have gone with that instead in retrospect.

    I would check with your warranty contract to see if adding a piggy back unit will void it. Do note, since we are a piggyback unit, if you spend a few minutes to remove the RaceChip before you take it in for service, the mechanic or technician will have no idea that the RaceChip was ever installed. You simply unplug the RaceChip from the sensors and re-insert the OEM plug. Most cars take 15-20 minutes to perform the un-installation. Once removed the RaceChip is virtually untraceable.
