This is what exactly I meant by suggesting FF filter. Even if you open the hood fully or what ever chamber trick, the stock filter has its own limitations in letting more air where as a FFF will let more air with hood closed. Note that GM is not suggesting any FFF as of now, so if you are going to use it, replace it with the stock filter before giving it to service to honor the warranty.

I don't think so, I think its all depends on how you are going to treat the car for the first 100KMs after the reset.

Exactly, metallic shades are easy to maintain in every aspects but when it comes to non-metallic its a different experience.

Reconnected the battery terminal back, tightened to the best, closed the doors, turned on the acc mode, waited for few secs, turned on the ignition waited for few secs and then started the car, in seconds it settled to idle speed. It ran for 2 mins in that idle speed, then turned on the park lights, headlights with an interval of 30 secs, wiper, ICE and finally the A/C. Switched off after 5-6 mins everything works fine as expected.
Early morning I started the car, waited few secs to run on idle speed, the
first thing I noted was idle speed was reduced to 3 bars previously it was on 5 bar/1K line, now its on 600-700 range. I smelled something good happened and the rest you know it now.

Well that is the most horrid thing one can possibly do in a car. You are playing with own safety. What if the the bonet gets open fully due to a pothole or something. And then bangs it against your windshield. Stop risking your like for a mere 1 KMPL. |
Exactly, its just an additional simple safety lock which can be undone at any point of time as we can't perform a predicted way of driving. If you tie the hood with a rope from inside will give you more safety, its not advisable though. Also is it worth do such risky things? I think you can even consider try to remove the intake scoop at the air filter box end, IIRC it can be removed.
