CAI help

Hello everyone,

I am looking a little into the future and planning my first couple of performance mods on my Camaro. All of my current mods are all just cosmetic thus far. Once I install and purchase my JL/BD sub upgrade in my car I will be looking into a CAI and possibly a new exhaust. I lack a lot of knowledge when it comes to performance. What are the advantages of having a CAI on my V6 Camaro? Basically why would I want one? I am a dummy in this part of the Camaro world

Basically, it'll help your engine breathe easier, run more efficiently and give you a little HP/TQ boost. You'll probably get a few more MPGs, and your car will most definitely sound awesome when you get on the gas. This will probably give you a few less MPGs Take a look through the V6 section and you probably find opinions on all the major brands.

Everything E.T. says. But most importantly, it's one of the easiest mods to DIY. And it will make you wear a smile for a couple hundred miles =D



Hear the diff, I know you want it

Most people buy an aftermarket cold air intake for:
  • better performance
  • improved sound
  • improved fuel economy
  • engine compartment appearance

Please take a moment to learn about the Roto-fab air intake system and check out the sound clip.
http://roto-fab.com/Camaro_V6.html

The Roto-fab intake system installs easily with absolutely no modifications to your car-no cutting, drilling or re-locating anything. Our customers notice a good increase in performance and the sound is awesome. Your Camaro will sound like a Camaro should!
You can choose from a variety of air box colors and we have dry or oil filters available.
If you have any questions, please send a pm and we will answer quickly.

Cold Air Inductions, Inc. intake systems benefits

: Tig welded aluminum air box (high luster finish reflects radiant heat)

: Insulated air box (this adding another layer of thermal (convection) protection)

: Aluminum lid with stainless steel ¼ turn fasteners (fast filter removal)

: Viewing window for fast easy filter inspection.

: High Luster ceramic coated intake tube (coated inside and out, yet another layer of thermal protection)

: Smooth bore (88.9 mm) intake tube construction (this minimizes bends and restrictions within the system)

: 8” V-stack air filter with built in velocity stack (helps reduce turbulence for truer MAF reading)

: 8 layer air filter (maximizing filtration for prolonged engine life)
