I have a AIRAID and it's really good, it gave a good noticeable boost on power, and even more noticeable on MPG.
I had long tubes put in before the CAI. When my 2010 SS was stock it made about 23.5MPG going 60MPH, after I put the long tubes it dropped to 21MPG, and with the CAI it went up to 27.5MPG. The power wise, you don't feel that much of a push back to the seat when you floor it, but you do notice that the RPM raises a bit faster. 2nd gear feels almost like 1st when going up, that's how much of a difference I noticed...

Since Vararam hasn't come out with one for the 2012 yet, Cold Air Inductions (CAI) or Halltech Yellowjacket would both be good choices. Roto-Fab is probably another good choice, but I've not tried that one.

We recommend CAI or Roto-Fab. Both are good performaners and we've had nothing but satisfied customers.

The fit and finIsh of my halltech yellow jacket is pretty sad. I'm almost ashamed to open my hood and how people. I would grap a CAI right now but just going to wait since I'm going turbo.

Looks like everyone likes CAI. Are they easy to install?

CAI plus the ADM scoop. Go to Chase at Apex when you want to order. He will take good care of you.

I like the Halltech. not fitment issues, same power as CAI and less $ but obviously not the same look or quality. Scoop works well also
