Best place to get CAI installed? - Houston - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a 2012 V6 and want to buy a CAI. Does anyone know of a good shop in Houston that I can buy it from and have it installed?

You do know it's one of the easiest things to do right? Takes about :15 min Loom up install instructions, I think you'll find you can do it yourself without any real mechanical skills.

Do it yourself and save the cash for other mods...

I've looked, but I have zero mechanical ability and don't want to mess anything up. It doesn't sound like an expensive install so I was wanting to pay a professional.

It is a really simple install but if you want you can buy from and take it to phastek performance. They are located here in Houston.

If you can tie you're shoes, you can install a CAI.
Try it men, you might be surprised with what you can do.

Don't be scared you can't screw it up. It is the easiest thing you can put on your car. It is harder to change your drl lights than that.

As easy as you guys make it sound, I'll give it a shot.

Stop by one of our Camaro meets. Plenty of folks available to help you out.

You'll get it done just fine, plus it's so much rewarding when you sit back and look at it knowing you did it. Order it and look at the parts, you'll realize there isn't much to it. Have fun with the mods, it's addictive!

Most cold air intakes are the simplest mod you can do to your car.

If your that worried about installing it, bring it by the shop and i will watch and instruct you how to install it correctly free of charge. atleast then when your done you can say i did that.

I have little to no mechanical experience and was able to do it myself also. I followed the instructions and it ended up being pretty easy. Took me longer than 15 minutes...but I used the instructions from Roto Fab and watched some youtube vids...and figured it out. My wife was pretty impressed and I have to say..I was happy with myself that I got it done. I have a set of High Flow cats I'm trying to psyche myself up for now and I just got ZL1 rockers and a front splitter to do also. I think I might take that to a Houston area place to do...but am considering trying it myself first!

Good luck..you can do it.
