My new CAI by Cold Air Inductions, Inc. = AWESOME!!! - Page 22 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I installed mine and took no more than an hour... performance gain is very noticeable and sounds mean too..

One issue though, when I switch off my car I hear a loud pressure release of air coming from the CAI... is this normal? Does it happen to all of you?

I used to hear a similar noise but in my Tacoma. not sure if it's the same sound that yours is making.

just curious, is your car LS3 or L99?

I don't have a 2010 Camaro, but I've used an open element cold air intake before and the noise you're talking about is normal.

HzMajesty · 01-08-2010, 12:08 PM

LS3 M6....

Hope its normal like you said...

Iwantone2 · 01-08-2010, 01:48 PM

agreed. normal for aftermarket CAIs. it's just neutralizing the vacuum.

It arrived yesterday and I installed it with the help of my sister and her friend! Took about 30 - 40 minutes to install and fairly straightforward instructions. Went for a drive afterwards and it made a GREAT difference!!!

i believe they are back-ordered 4-6 weeks from Cold Air Inductions, Inc. IMO, it is worth the wait!

Watch out, some will say they are in stock but are not. I would call them to be sure. I think Jannetty Racing has run into that problem. Their web system must not track their inventory. I bought an 'in stock" unit, but haven't hear anything for 10 days...

You may want to just PM CAI direct. That's how I got mine. They were ultra cool to deal with. Just a suggestion. The unit is pretty dang cool and I dig it. Owned it for about a month now. Although I HATE the half rotating retention screws. Those suck.
