cold air intake
Hey everyone, have a friend I work with at the dealership that just got a 2011 2SS in Synergy. Just wondering about your opinions on which cold air intakes are the best or most sought after. Thanks all! I will be ordering one tomorrow, he's leaving it in my "capable" hands haha. |I have a BBK on my 6'r and love it.

CAI, Roto-Fab or Airaid would be my top choices.
Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |

I personally have a K&N, is it the best? No, but it sure as hell gets the job done. The numbers show that CAI with the air scoop gets you the best numbers though

Some people will argue that the price difference between the the CAI and retro-fab isn't worth the 3-4 ponies you get with the CAI. Normally I would agree, but with the limited mod options that give you more RWHP, I almost felt like the higher cost was worth it. Not tomention the LFX guys like me can't do headers and vararam. I am speaking of bolt ons that don't include FI, since you go from few hundred dollars for bolt ons to almost 10k for pro installed FI
