Thumbs up New CAI.. Finally!! What do you have?

so I finally purchased a new CaI a K&N aircharger edition for my 15' Ls. This is going to be my first major install to my car. Anything I need to know? Should I do it or should I have it professionally installed. Looks simple. Anyway! What do you have in your car!

It's a very simple install. No worries as long as you have the tools and are somewhat mechanically inclined.

I opted for the RotoFab CAI after using the Cold Air Industries version and I really like the Rotofab so much more.

Got the Cold Air Inductions kit myself.. nothing like doing it yourself.. It's not difficult just take it slow and enjoy the time you spend with her

Add the air scoop when you're ready to feel the CAI

That's why they have insulated metal tubes. Thermal coated on the inside.
