GMPP vs Cold Air Inductions CAI
Can't decide on which CAI to get for my v6. There both priced within $20 of each other. GM's comes with a flash tune so that it doesn't throw a CEL, but it's an open system. Not sure how that will hold up on long drives if it's sucking in warm air from the engine. Cold Air Inductions doesn't require a tune and looks better aesthetically with it's enclosed housing. Neither should void warranty but GM will always support their products over after markets. Decisions, decision. What do you think?

That open top actually seals against the hood, it is still a closed system...

I find it hilarious that GM has an official part that's not 50 state legal.
Especially when all they had to do was put a stupid carbon pad in the thing like the stock unit and enclose it. Get it tested and it would pass. That's how much GM cares about investing in the camaro. On the other hand, the stock intake is already a CAI and this crap is just for aesthetics mostly anyway. Most, if not all, of your improvement comes from having a less restrictive air filter ...which you can do with a drop-in. |
