im thinking AEM a prototype for him to put in his car, meaning his car is the first.. prototypes arent always the finaly product, so figuring out how to put these one for the first time.. could take some time figuring it out..

AEM said. + the intake says somehting like.. 2320701
so i think it means model number, yr, intake #
possible?
and it took time because we got some things mixed around, instructions were hard to read, also just got engine light on, lol how do you disable that from happining.

Your suppose to disconnect the negative battery side to reset the ecu after you put the intake on. Then let it idle for about 5 mins.

^^^ disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, reconnect, start and let it idle another 10 minutes without revving it at all. Then go for a slow cruise before getting on it so the ecu can relearn.

They didnt install it or sell it so they're not going to work on it for free

It will only void warranty if they can connect the part you installed to the problem. For instance you install an intake and your sunroof wind deflector breaks. Theres no way to connect that. Im not sure how they would connect an intake to a transmission leaking so its possible theres no void. They better have a good reason if they do tell you its void.

well all the intake does is send cold air into the block not the transmission.

Yup. So there should be no reason why they would void that part of your warranty
