Which CAI for ss (L99 auto)???/

Sorry, I am burnt out on using the search button looking for rims.

My question is what is a good CAI to go with??
I'd like one that will make a significant difference in sound and hopefully improve gas mileage or are all the systems pretty much the same?

This will be for a 2010 camaro ss auto trans (L99).

And maybe you can direct me to a good place to purchase.

Thanks in advance.

there are a few good choices . of course everyone will tell you what they have and recommend it. you will notice a nice sound in most of the aftermaket CAIs. i personally would recommenced "CAI inc" made right here in MI. i would buy one from a forum vendor.

I am going with CAI.

But I recommend CAI and Vararam (they seem to post the best CONSISTENT numbers from independent testing I have seen with Jannetty). I do like roto fab and K&N.

However, I really prefer the enclosure offered with the CAI and the ceramic tubing.

Best places to purchase are APEX-speed and Marylandspeed.com

I believe both offer free shipping right now so you are looking at 399.99 at your front door.

Personal choice....Transmission does not matter what type of CAI to go with.

I went with Roto-Fab.

Yea, a bit older...with the new vararam system I would say their system would probably triple that response now.

Like we said, CAI and Vararam for me.

We offer a great system for your car. We just made some revisions to our intake which make it even better for the person that wants to install an aftermarket intake, but doesn't want to tune.
We offer a dry or oil filter as well as many appearance options.
