Installed my CAI inc. today - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The UPS guy brought my cold air intake today. I like the looks out of it but really can't feel or hear the difference. I also installed a Borla S axle back a couple of weeks ago.

Grats, and yeah only if you woulda done the intake first would you really have heard the difference (at least sound-wise). Borla's pretty much overpower any change the intake would have made.

That's the order I did mine, CAI then axle back. With stock exhaust it was a pretty noticable difference. Axle back took the Monster's Roar to where I wanted it

Yeah, that's what I thought. I ordered the exhaust and the intake at the same time (3 weeks ago) but the CAI wasn't in stock until a couple of days ago.

i did the FAT catback a month ago, then the same CAI you did. i also did not notice anything, but i think the computer compensates...(??). we have about 300 miles on it since the CAI and it seems like it is improving, but i am going to wait a week or so before passing judgement for sure. driving under underpasses sounds more nascar like than before the CAI

Wow. This makes me worried. I've ordered my CA inductions intake as well and it would be awful not to notice a difference.

I don't have the Borla exhaust I have the Flowmaster AMT..that said I'll let you know if I notice a difference.

Cheers,

Hahaha, I didnt notice anything either. I didnt even notice a difference after lt headers, catless exhaust, cai and diablo sport tuner or the ported tb....

I'll be doing heads and a cam next so hopefully then ill feel a difference!

You will definitely hear and feel the difference on a stock Camaro. I have had about 1000 customers confirm that. But as the others said, as you start adding more and more it becomes difficult to notice each gain as every modification is added. Trust me, you will LOVE it!!

I gained 200 RWHP with my CAI, Inc (and a couple other items)

See my sig for the similarities in our set ups.....I hear the intake inhale heavily when I rev at stand still...the Flowmasters drown out anything else once rolling and on the pedal. Overall there is a considerable difference between stock and these mods from a butt-dyno standpoint, IMO
