These high mileage belts should not be giving you a problem yet, unless you see cracks or slices in it, I would think the tensioner would be the culprit. You shouldn't have to be spraying belt dressing on it all that does is improve gripping temporarily.
I would tend to think if you replace the factory intake with after market, expect voiding the warranty. I'd call your dealer and ask, or call a dealer you don't deal with and ask them.

I just checked the car and its the Pulley Serpentine belt tensioner. I took it off cleaned it, but its still sqeaking consistenly now. Should the wheel spin smoothly and fast or is it suppose to be a little stiff.
