Wish mine didn't care. They did say I could put in an aftermarket air filter as long as I left the original housing and tube.My service manager said his team would not care and cause issues about CAI since gm sells them. He likes my Volant too.

I don't blame you. The issues are not as bad, but I can sure feel the difference in the throttle. I called Chevy customer service and asked about the warranty. Like I mentioned it will be void if it's on. So glad you put it back to stockMy service manager also said not to worry about my AFE intake. He said it won't void the warranty. So mix messages out there. Recently 2 valves and 2 push rods were bent. But before I towed it in -- I put the stock intake back on because I didn't want any issues even though the SM said no issues installing an aftermarket intake.
I had the same issue with my '16 Silverado. I put on the K&N kit the day I brought the truck home with 186 miles on it and hated the way it has shifted since day 1. Bought my wifes new Tahoe a few months back and have been comparing the 2 two and hers is the same 5.3L, 6L90E, 3.42 Ratio set up and shifts/feels/powers completely different 100% stock. Put my stock air box on and off twice now and it's a noticeable difference when the stock is reinstalled and the shift issues go away.
Ya . It' going back to the shop. The shifts and power surges didn't stop. It' all back to stock and after a week still happening.I found multiple online accounts of CAI causing problems and no real gains without doing some sort of tune on newer vehicles.
