Can anyone please explain to me why I need it other than "New cars just need it" or "It is needed with headers because u need the extra air coming in because of the exhaust going out." All input will be greatly appreciated.

If you cant see the difference in the maze the air has to go through and the restrictive pipe they put on the car stock then you need new glasses before you get a CAI.
The stock tube is designed for quietness not performance.
if you want the car to breath you need a CAI flat out.
a lame K&N filter in the stock setup will do nothing at all.
a GOOD CAI is an absolute 15-20hp no BS. this is not snake oil.
There are neutral studies posted here that show the gains No BS.
The car drives completely different with more power across the entire band after the change.
