CAI ?...
I am new here and not sure I have the right part of the forums. But here is my question. I just purchased my 1st camaro. [It was a gift from my wife.] It is a 2015 v6. I wanted to know will I notice a boost in power by adding a CAI or will it not be noticeable? I wanted to here from some people who done it. Also on a side note is an Injen or K&N what most people prefer. Love to hear some feed back.
Thanks, |

You'll notice a little deeper huming noise coming from under your hood. And it really depends on how much you've driven your car and gotten use to it stock. You may notice a little difference. But if you haven't had it to long and haven't driven it a whole bunch, you might not really notice anything. That's just my opinion. And as far as what brand. Get a rotofab. It comes with an amazing air box and keeps a lot of hot air off of the filter. I decided to build my intake and own box. I went with a 4" pipe instead of the 3" pipe. Now that's a noticeable difference!! Hope I can help !

The better CAI systems will gain somewhere in the 10-15 rwhp range. You can bump that up some more with the addition of an intake scoop. You will definitely hear a difference and may feel a little bit of a difference in the seat of your pants but don't expect it to be a game changer. Cold Air Inductions Inc (CAI Inc) and Roto-Fab are the two most often used because they have proven to be the top performers.

the strut tower brace helps a lot when turning at high speed, driving on track or back country roads you can feel a difference. driving around the city you wouldnt know it was there. as for the OP's question, CAI was my choice!

The Roto-fab V6 CAI performs great without setting codes, sounds awesome and can be customized to your tastes. I've owned a couple of V6 Camaros and I can tell you this intake really makes a difference. A 12-15 HP increase on a V6 is more noticeable in comparison to similar gains on a V8 car. If you have a standard trans the sound change alone is reason enough to have one of our intakes! You get a "throaty" sound under moderate to aggresssive acceleration, yet the sound is comparable to stock under normal driving conditions.
Installation is easy, our instructions are thorough and you don't need to make any modifications to install. Basic hand tools are all you will need. We have some great dealers here on this site that are would be glad to help you out! |

I did a K&N 63. Good quality from a brand we know forever. Looks great. Others were unjustifiably more money. Easy install, be careful removing the MAP Sensor connector whichever you choose, it's not just the red lock piece but a squeeze too.
Cool sound change from under the hood and moderate noticeable boost in power. https://youtu.be/kkRL_8wHsHQ is a video from the rear. https://youtu.be/kkRL_8wHsHQ |

I went with the CAI Inc system and have loved it since I stallation. It was a little more expensive than most systems, but the fit/finish and appearance are great. I haven't thrown any codes since the install. Have had it on for roughly 17K miles.
I didn't consider the injen long tube system because I was living in South Florida and was concerned with the chance of hydro lock. That's another system to look into.

Good afternoon,
With our intake you not only get the extra sound and performance that most are looking for but you get the highest quality components and craftsmanship. We have worked with various OEM car manufacturers to provide intakes system that exceed expectations. Our intake features all aluminum construction that is Tig welded by hand and thermal coated inside and out then powder coated. We do everything possible to keep the intake air temps as low as possible such as enclosing the air filter in an insulated air box which helps to make more power. Our filter is a lifetime filter design in house that can be cleaned and oiled many times with our "recharge kit". Cold Air Inductions also dyno test all of our systems and all of the gains shown are wheel HP claims not to the crank like some advertise. We also have a lifetime warranty against defective material and craftsmanship for the life of the product under the original purchaser. The system is very easy to install and of course looks great under the hood! Mark G Customer Rep/ Sales (810)392-9999 |
