new era OTR CAI installed - Camaro Forum - 2011 Camaro 2010 Camaro / Camaro Z28 SS Forums

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 07:52 AM

well as the title says i got my new era otr cai, which i purchased from bumblebeecamro, the install was straight forward and simple. It took a grand total of 15 min to do. I just wanted to post here and let anyone know that if they are holding out on getting one of these because of all the negative things they have heard about these (herky jerkies) and drivabily issues. They are not true. after install i let my car idle for 10 min and then took a short 20 mile drive around town and my car never once had even the slightest hiccup. I love this cai and recommend it to anyone. Great product New era! OBTW you can really feel a seat of the pants difference with this thing on, and it the only mod other than muffler delete that i have.

Did you have Jeremy tweak your tune after installing the New Era OTR?

Pictures please!

SMGSS · 01-29-2010, 02:38 PM

Ide like to see some install pictures as well. Thanks for the appraisal as well, glad you are happy with it!

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 07:33 PM

only thing i dont like about it is that the previous owner took the new era sticker off. i personally would have left it on.

ssmike · 01-29-2010, 07:37 PM

did you have a tune done?

Steve · 01-29-2010, 07:55 PM

How does it get the air? I have looked above the radiator and the bulkhead in front of and above the radiator is solid. Where does the air come from to go down the intake mouth?

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 08:13 PM

no i do not have a tune just the cai and muffler delete. The radiator is moved towards the engine about 2 to 3 inches and held in place by 2 brackets on the cai. that opens up the area in front of the radiator for the air to get up to the intake.

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 08:15 PM

i am in the process of getting some pics up, but i am new to the whole pic thing so it might take a bit to figure out. bare with me.

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 08:38 PM

the only thing i did different than the directions was put the pcv hose on the bottom instead of on the top, a much cleaner look in my opion.

wbt · 01-29-2010, 08:42 PM

Any surging issues?

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 08:45 PM

not a one. i drove it last nite after install and had zero issue, and again today i drove it around town plenty and had not issues whatsoever.

wbt · 01-29-2010, 09:04 PM

Sweet! Don't mind me asking how much? This may have just became my preferred choice of intake.

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 09:15 PM

new they are 500 dollars, but i got mine from bumblebeecamaro for 325 shipped to my door. Thanks bumblebee!

caverman · 01-29-2010, 10:09 PM

Does anyone know what type of filter this uses and how often it would have to be changed? Is it a dry or wet filter?

summitss/rsls3 · 01-29-2010, 10:22 PM

it is a k&n filter.

wbt · 01-29-2010, 11:05 PM

TY sir!

Steve · 01-30-2010, 10:21 PM

Do you have to drill or modify the car during the installation process?
