Finally ordered my CAI
So glad I ordered it can't wait to put it on. Anyone have a noticeable difference in MPG or power? Also it's cold air inductions so can I put it on myself and keep warranty?

As with everything, if you have the skill level, you can put it on yourself.
I have the v6 with the injen intake and I noticed a bump in power and throttle response as well as a nice sound upgrade good luck! |

Putting a cai in is so easy a cave man can I do it. you will notice a lil more power and you will be able to hear the differents. The mpg will most likely stay the same.
Mods on v6 are: K&N cai with washer bottle delete, BBK longtube headers with High flow cats, Trifecta tune (on the way) and muffler delete. |

Very easy to install, I did it myself. U wont notice a huge difference in mpg but u will notice a difference in performance and sound.

I have heard so many different claims about cold air kits. Are these cars really showing a bump in power?
Sorry to hijack the thread, just want to learn

After watching this video about a BBK CAI, I went ahead and bought it. I thought it showed a lot of imrpoverment for a V-6 and at about $250, it was a good deal.

To honest it depends on who u talk to. Some say yes, some say no. If it does increase hp, its not by much, maybe 5-10hp. The most noticable difference is it helps eliminate hesitation which feels like increased hp. Its like this in both the v6 & v8. I had a '11 LT that had a cai & now my SS which has one too. It improved both on faster takeoff, less hesitation, & deeper sound especially noticeable w aftermarket exhaust. CAI r def worth the money. Its a big difference.

I am assuming different versions will require different skill levels to install. On the BBK video, the washer reservoir is still there, but on others I have seen it removed, or moved. I think with my skill level with today's cars, I could install something like the BBK version. I am not so sure about something that would require moving the washer bottle, etc. (Not that I couldn't do it, but wouldn't feel comfortable doing it.)
Are the HP gains for the V8 for the Manual only? When I get my Camaro SS/RS it will be automatic and I wonder if it will do the same for an Automatic concerning HP increase and improved sound. |
