Ted,

What would you recommend for a 2012 LS3 car w/Whipple, that still utilizes the stock airbox w/drop-in K&N filter? I'd assume that most any CAI would be a benefit over the stock box. Also, would the race scoop still be effective? Any clearance issues with the heat exchanger?

Thanks,
Scott

CAI makes a specific Whipple cold air kit that we use in all of our builds it is AWESOME and I stock them because of it.

Our Scoop makes it that much better.

Thanks to Ted, I can confirm CAI with Whipple and yes it works great! I would pay strict attention to MAF position, needs to be at 12 o’clock. I have had misfiring under boost when it wasn’t. I would get the scoop too!

This is great, confirmed I made the right decision with cold air inductions. Is there anything like this for headers? I am trying to make my decision on headers without breaking the bank. BBK long tubes seem to be a mid priced header with a decent name. Is it justified to pay double the price for say kooks or texas speed? is there a significant power increase difference or is it more quality.

Our price point High quality header option is Stainless Power we stock them Coated with silver ceramic coating inside and out.

The fit finish and quality is very good at this price level about in the middle of the market.

If you're looking mid range header price go with Ted's recommendation of Stainless Power. Kooks will run you much more than Texas Speed and while I run Kooks and love them, Stainless Power is a good quality header that is easier on the pocket book. They're the Stainless Works knock offs now owned by Stainless Works so that the product is a higher quality product. With ceramic coating in stock, it's hard to pass on a quality header like that, and yes ceramic coating your headers is absolutely worth the extra cost.

I used speed engineering 1 7/8th. Cheap, had to dimple one tube on the passenger side. Jannetty with ceramic coat them for a fair price when i get them off again. Headers were $350 i think. The cost them for around $300 if i remember correctly.
