What CAI?

[Luke V8]

Hi All,

I'm in the market for a CAI for my SSV but not sure to go OTR or not?

Options i've been looking at:

• VCM OTR CAI
• KPM OTR CAI
• Yella Terra CAI
• AirHammer CAI
• DUspeed OTR CAI

Just wondering what your opinions are on these? (& let me know which one you have)

Cheers!

add duspeed to that list (i have one of these)

VCM and duspeed are the more popular ones for VE V8s

[Luke V8]

Thanks mate - how do you find the duspeed?

[RUF-60L]

by opening my bonnet >_> *budum tsshh*

i like it, it looks good, although some ppl prefer the VCM coz it looks more 'stock' in its finish

here is a pic of the duspeed fitted to my car

It is Friday i suppose!

Looks good - what about performance & induction noise?

[RUF-60L]

well my exhaust sorta limits the amount of noise i can hear, but if its a quiet day, i can hear it taking a deep breath

You won't get a lot of induction noise from a good OTR - 'induction noise' is caused by turbulence - there isn't any in an OTR. That's not what they're for. They're designed to be efficient, not noisy. At most, you'll be able to hear the flow of air increasing - but it won't be distracting like with a pod filter and pipe.

I like the VCM, incidentally.

[VEV8]

Can I throw another one into the mix? Orssom OTR. I have one fitted. Looks and sounds nice too.

Incidentally.. the KPM intake is made by VCM - it's the same unit, different sticker.

As always, valuable info mate

ive got a VCM on mine, looks neat n tidy, fits really well, filter is large and easily removable/washable. One thing i will say is i like the look of SYCO5S duspeed where it mounts to the TB. The VCM one is a large flimsy looking sock that i felt would suck itself in under hard throttle!! Im probs wrong its just how it looks to me and i would prefer something more solid....so im going to make something myself i think!! No induction noise whatso ever btw

The VCM OTR gets my vote, and you can get infill panels and radiator covers to suit it too, makes for a very nice finish

[Lumps of cheese]

Duspeed. Have had one on my vz and now on my ve. Wouldn't have anything else, quality and finish are second to none.

[RUF-60L]

spend a lil extra, and get a carbon fibre one , its able to hold a bigger filter and still be the same weight as a regular duspeed

[Luke V8]

Well... The poll has spoken!

Ordered my VCM OTR CAI this afternoon :-)

Got it for a good price direct from them and they have dispatched already so i get it tomorrow! Hopefully get that installed on weekend and then look for a good tuning shop in Adelaide. (KPM want $990 to tune only)

I have an ally one from Ziggy. I did hae an orssom one before that but I have noticed that orssom have just released a new one with bigger filter. It looks really good

[Luke V8]

Doh.. lol

Nah, i'm happy, i got it for a good price (end of financial year etc) and, ordered it at 4pm yesterday and it was waiting for me when i got to the office
