CAI for LLT V6: Quick Review
Wanted to give a review of the CAI in my LLT.
My previous vehicle was a Grand Prix and it had a CAI so I knew what to expect. In the Camaro, I have a ported tb but no other real engine mods. Here are my notes:
The engine bay is not up to my standard of clean but I'll take care if it over the weekend. Just wanted to post the install pics |

Update:
The MPG is still at 20. I can definitely feel a slight difference and I still agree its approx 5-6% increase. Overall, the exhaust difference makes it more fun to drive. So, I'm pleased. |

I noticed an improvement in throttle response with my new CAI, but hp/mpg gain is not noticeable.

I got 2-3 more MPG with my Airraid CAI.
Can consistently do 32-34 MPG all Hwy. Performance and sound is like night and day. Best Mod I ever did. Did you re-set the ECU, after the install?

My K&N CAI makes my camaro sound so much better than it did to begin with. has a light growl when pressing the gas. as far as MPG goes it has done a bit better for me as well. Definitely the best mod i've done so far.

Update:
MPG: Varies as I've been romping it more. 17 or 20 when I drive normally. I used to get 19 mpg while driving normally so it is better. Power: Still very slight Sound: Exhaust sound still very noticeable when I give it more throttle. Cost: The MPG vs cost won't be recovered for probably 10 years but that isn't the purpose. |
