    Factory Warranty ?

    Believe original GM warranty on Cad was 48 mo/ 50,000 mi whichever comes first; but auto may also have an extended warranty which if GM may be as long as 8 yrs/ 100,000 mi or??

    Deville mass air?

    I have a 99 DeVille Concours and a 05 SRX V8 N* & love both. I recently installed a Volant CAI on the SRX but have yet to compare results. Volant uses the stock MAF on their package; it increases noise above stock but much less than the K&Ns I've seen. Suggest the Great Air Intake Challenge...
