I have the airraid intake for my 2lt. works great and you can get it for under 350 if you look right.

I can only go off of from what I have, and I love it.

In my opinion the best intake is the Cold Air Inductions CAI. To me it looks the best and the performance is there. I noticed a change in acceleration and the overall tone of my car.

I know it's a pretty bad picture but this will give you an idea what it looks like.

x2 on CAI. Not only is Bill a great guy to work with, but the product has been good on every vehicle.

After my catch-can, a CAI in powdercoated black is going on the car.

I have the vararam and it pretty good. I think the CAI is a better setup.

RubyCamaro · 04-03-2013, 07:06 AM

Yep, CAI inc FTW IMHO

meissen · 04-03-2013, 07:14 AM

Unfortunately, almost all of the highly recommended intakes are >$300. CAI's cold air intake is $400, for example.

This thread will help you with some of the performance decisions available for our V6.

one of the better proven gains is the injen long tube intake.

Why does an intake need a top cover, when the RotoFab and others is sealed tight by the hood.

Vararam for 2010-2011; CAI for 2012+.

This thread is in the wrong forum -looks like OP has a 2012 (LFX)

Cpaint9041 · 04-03-2013, 12:28 PM

was looking to do the same in my 2LT. Hows the sound improvement/pitch?

hworth18 · 04-03-2013, 12:28 PM

If you had a 2011 or older, I'd say go for the Vararam, since it's a 2012, I recommend the CAI. Sure it's a little pricey, but it's also quality.

I see this same question every day. does nobody use the search function at all?
