I need to take my car to the Ford local dealer to have my intake manifold replaced(cracked at t-stat housing). This is covered under my extended powertrain coverage. My question is does my mac cold air pipe have to come off before I take it in? Will they try to say this might of contributed to the intake manifold breaking down?

Technically no it won't void the warranty. But it might be worth the half hour to swap back just so there will be no hassle.

most dealers will say that the high flow air filter will collect dirt or rocks and refuse to warranty anything so its best to just put the stock one on for now to be on the safe side.

Agreed, agreed, agreed - this is just too easy to swap back to stock. Better safe than sorry.

especially with something so simple to swap back as an intake. Avoid all the possible hassle and crap they might try and pull about the intake causing the damage.
