New Chevrolet CAI installed

tallspawn · May 9, 2016

Thanks for the pics on this, I was seriously considering it before just getting the airaid MIT. Plenty happy with it but the GM one sure looks dang good! I couldn't find any installed pics and the stock photo doesn't do it justice.

Nice. I guess I know what I will be doing when I take mine in for the first free oil change. Was gonna go K&N but also concerned about warranty and I think I would also prefer a dry filter.

Thanks for sharing. Time to start saving up!

I like it. And it's a dry filter element...I'm wondering if it's gauze and/or foam. I'm guessing it's a permanent/washable filter.(?) Sure would like the filter effectiveness of a paper element- that thing looks pretty tempting. NICE.

In Canada it retails for $650 (not what I paid for it, I paid $450 CAD), the US list price is $550.

Ya, there was some "customer satisfaction" appeasement in play.

Does anyone know if there are any difference that would prevent it from fitting on the 6.2l. I have been looking at one for my 2015 6.2l.

Anyone try to make this work with the 6.2 yet?

mikepol2 · July 21, 2016

Wondering about 6.2 fitment also. K&N uses the same part number kit for both 5.3 and 6.2.

Please post if you end up doing it. I am strongly considering the GM CAI in the near future. If I wind up being the Guinea pig I will post it up so the information is out there.

Anyone know the diameter of the GM CAI coupler where it attaches to the CAI? And is it removable easily? And the diameter of the 6.2 throttle body? Trying to figure out if a coupler/reducer will be needed or if the coupler already there can be stretched to fit.

I've been following this post for a while and was wondering if you had noticed any gains yet? MPG increase or decrease? Performance gains?

That's sweet. I'm going to get one. Really like the look of it.

Just installed mine. I love it. Throttle, big improvement in responsiveness. Sound, real throaty when you step in it. Silent as stock at any cruising speed. How do I add pics & video to this post?
