haha, youre crazy man! but if you can do it... then do it. i wouldnt wanna be the next person that bought it, but dealerships are kinda shady themselves anyway... i doubt anyone would notice. what is it like a 5 hp difference?

Just FYI, having done this type of work in the past, GM has a complete department in each region that do nothing but inspect lease turn-in's. You may get away with it, but if you don't, you pay for the work to make the car right. The inspection isn't done by the dealer's used car lot.
If the car is turned in with a rod knock, and it's determined to be 'abused', you'll buy Pontiac an engine...

I know I beat the Hell out of rentals. Hell My parents even beat the crap out of them. We got a rental truck that is exactly like my moms. 2003 Dodge Ram 2X4 4.7 V8. She runs hers pretty hard and the little gauge usually reads about 15 mpg, the rental we got said 9!!!!!!! I think most people beat on rentals.

i used to work for a dealership and we never once turned in rentals to get inspected, all we did was a visual, and driving inspection. and i would almost gaurentee that the dealer wouldnt catch it. so go for it!

Don't do it, it's dishonest and just marks you. If you would lie about the intake, you would no doubt do worse deeds with no regret until one day it all catch's up with you.
