Cold air intake on V-6 ?
 Was wondering if any of you have put the cold air intake on their V-6. I've been contemplating it and was wondering if all the hype is worth it. Pros and cons and if it would help my gas milage. The extra horsepower would be nice but not necessary. Also is there a link to installation videos, I'm not to auto savvy when it comes to this kind of stuff.Thanks in advance for the information. |

Check out 2012 intakes only since they are different from 2010-2011 engines.

Not sure yet on the increased mpg's, but the torque and sound is worth it. Put the CAI brand on mine.

It was the first bolt on mod I did, and it was easy.
Sounds awesome, looks cool, maybe some extra torque? My gas mileage has dropped from 18.6 to 18.1 though :\ had it on for about half a year now. |

I was just like you 2-3 weeks ago wondering if I should do it, if its worth it....I'll say this much...install it and get that throttle open and you'll see why you did it.
