Would love to add a CAI to my 2010 Alpha. Any step by step? Will it void the warranty?

i really hate to open this can of worms again,,,but,,how does a metal pipe directly in the path of blazing hot radiator air, translate into a "cold air intake"? sounds like a preheater!

Had one on my 2006 I-5 matched with a dual exhaust and boy could that thing fly.

Matches my Alpha and in some cases, based on memory, exceeds it.

Would punch the gas and it would send you deeper into the back of your seat.

Sadly, no one is offering anything for 2010 Alpha's as I have been searching.

Actually that would be incorrect.

The Alphas are all the same, there having been only one tiny change from 08 into 09.
