how difficult will it be to replace the vent tube that goes from the back of the enging to the intake? I need to put a new one on so I can take it in with the original intake because my dealer is not cool with mods.

If you are talking about the Resonator that is before the stock airbox, I can help you.
It's located behind the fender & below/behind the headlight.
I removed my resonator by removing the passenger side front wheel and then removing the plastic rivits that hold the wheel well plastic in place. I think there are a total of 15 that need to be removed, and REPLACED. (once you remove them 70% of them are not usable again (my experience) get the GM replacement ones from PepBoys(or similar), they are about $2 for 15).
This allowed me to Easily remove the resonator without damaging it. There are 2 plastic mollys and one bolt. If you use this method of going in from the passenger wheel well you will have no problem installing the stock resonator.2006 GTP Coupe: Leather, Zinik wheels, GM Strut Bar, DoctorSpeed CAB, Custom Dual Magnaflow's / Resonator Exhaust

Not sure if thats what hes talking about, but either way he doesnt have to replace ANYTHING. The dealer can not like mods all they want but they cant do SHIT about it. We need a sticky regarding mods and warranty.
So my first post stands, dont put the car back to stock, you dont have to. The dealer can sit on it.

the dealer calls it a fresh air tube that connects to the intake near the throttle body.
and if i did take it in and say tough shit, fix whats wrong and they say the new intake caused it and it won't be covered under warranty, then what happens? I think it might be easier just to put on the old intake whenever I go in.bigben

exactly. you'll have to go through a whole process that could have been totally avoided by just taking 20 minutes and put everything back the way it was

I don't think it would be unusual for the dealer to look at the modified parts first. The car is designed to work properly using specified parts; once those parts are modified it's natural to check if the modifications are causing the problem. I'm not saying the dealer should check your strut bar to see if that caused your speakers to blow or anything, but if you have a CAI and you're throwing a CEL, I think it's reasonable to see if the CAI is the cause.
