anybody know the numbers yet on the gm cold air intake . it looks really nice. but can it perform at 450 dollars

$40? Where did you get your pricing? After-market CAIs are at least $300. GMPP CAI would likely be at least that bbut likely more $$.

sorry dude, I was not getting excited.

Just wondering where the price came from. $327 is a very nice price for a GMPP CAI. That's what I will get.

Before ordering from gmpartsdirect, check to see what shipping is going to cost. Shipping for that CAI is $68.80... you're really looking at $396.
gmpartsdirect always screws you on the shipping cost!!

Even with shipping, it's better than most dealerships will charge you which is full retail $450. If you go with gmpartsdirect, just be sure that you get exactly what you want because they will not refund the shipping/handling if you want to return an item.

You can also use the gmpartsdirect price (including shipping) to try to get your dealer to discount the price. My guess is that most will match it.

Man that is a nice looking CAI and made to should fit and look nice in our Cars unlike some after-market ones I have been reading about. The only question now if performance but I will buy it just for the fit and finish alone.

Anybody know why GM has not delivered this CAI part yet. What couldbe the delay? I may be wrong but isn't this a relatively easy upgrade/change?

What exactly could be the major drawbacks from using a CAI instead of the factory enclosed air take system?

Someone shead some light hear for everyone. Is it that they won;t be able to compete with the likes of ADM or Roto-Fab?

Looks like a shiney replacement for the stock box. Don't see how it could give any performance gains. If you're just wanting a cosmetically better looking CAI, then this is your ticket. If you're wanting some performance gains, get one of the others.

These are not made by GM, but by an aftermarket company to their specs. They have used Volant in the past, not sure on this one. This one does have a paper filter.

I have heard that GM has gone back and is redesigning the unit because of these very concerns. That is why it is taking longer. I don't know this for fact, but have seen it posted as such.
