It shows the 3.6 LGX intake on one of the last pages, and there is no mention that it only fits one of the model years listed on the Catalog. I was told by the dealer that the intake will fit, which I knew, because I already had it installed, but that GM had not released the ECU reflash for the 2018 model year. The last I heard was that they had no release date, or any guarantee that GM would ever release the ECU reflash for the 2018 model year, which just seems ridiculous to me.

They already have a product that was designed to fit their vehicle. They even have the ECU reflash released for 2 of the 3 model years that the CAI is designed to fit. I can't see where the mapping would be any different for the 2018 model year, than is was on the two previous years. It is, after all, the same engine as the 2016 and 2017 model years. So, at this point, it appears to be flat out laziness by someone at GM, who can't be bothered to release the ECU Reflash for the 2018 model year. I just wish that there was a better aftermarket option available. I don't like the the K&N CAI eliminates that sound tube, and some of the other CAIs have very mixed reviews on quality.

2.0T guy here so forgive my eavesdropping but i think the issue is GM for the last 3 years has changed the ECU accessibility every year. 2016 you could easily tune your ecu and tcm if you had an A8. 2017 they security locked the ECM and TCM seperately and made it obnoxious and extra expensive to tune from my understanding is they added even more security with the 2018 model year.
