Cold Air Intakes - The 50 State Legal Options
Cold Air Intakes are mostly not 50 State Legal. That means you will not pass smog. That being stated, there is only one system available right now that is legal. Now, which will gain you power via a bolt-on? Most people testing and tuning their cars are not getting the power advertised. Now is that due to location, dyno, car, manual vs. auto, etc. who knows... But do your research before you pick a CAI.
I'll note: The 6th Gen is not like the 5th gen this time around for bolt-on power. CAI's on the 5th gen have been proven time and time again to gain some good and real power. Many of the 6th Gen designs do not stand up to the claims. GM made a good air box this time around. Now a CAI with a tune... that changes things 50 State Legal Cold Air Intakes 50 State Legal GM: ➤ GMPP CAI – 50 State Legal 50 State Illegal Cold Air Inductions: ➤ Textured Black – Not 50 State Legal ➤ Near-Chrome - Not 50 State Legal ➤ Elite Carbon - Not 50 State Legal Mishimoto: ➤ Performance Intake - Not 50 State Legal K&N: ➤ AirCharger - Not 50 State Legal ➤ BlackHawk - Not 50 State Legal ➤ Typhoon - Not 50 State Legal AFE: ➤ Momentum - Not 50 State Legal Roto-Fab: ➤ CAI - Not 50 State Legal AirRaid: ➤ CAI - Not 50 State Legal ➤ Jr Intake Kit (pipe and drop in filter) - Not 50 State Legal SLP: ➤ CAI - Not 50 State Legal Holley: ➤ Intech - Not 50 State Legal Flowmaster: ➤ 615102 – Not 50 State Legal

I added the Rotofab and didnt' notice much, but the install is so easy, I will just swap the stock one back on if I have to smog it.
