    Question Ve V6 Cai Kits

    As the title suggest I am researching CAI kits for the v6, I had the exhaust system done today and I am looking at a CAI kit. I have found info on the ss inductions growler kit but not much else.

    What options do I have for kits and where would I buy them?
    What kits have been used by you fellow enthusiests and which ones are reccomended?

    or should I just run wuth a K&N filter?

    Thanks Guys

    Can't you just use an OTRCAI, the same as for the 6L?? They seem pretty similar in setup with the V6 and V8.

    Don't they already come with cold air intake?? From factory. Only difference is its not over the radiator.

    I am not sure, the ones that I have read up about require some sort of a tune

    Not sure, possibly. I would imagine that an aftermarket kit would give better results though

    nope the v8 otr's don't fit the ve and don't expect an ve alloytec otr anytime soon. there is the bta motorsport alloytec otr but i don't like the idea of laying the radiator back. ss grower does nothing just buy a hiflow panel. the stock setup is ok. get a hi flow panel and wait for a decent otr.

    Have to disagree mate. Had a growler on the VE Calais and it was INSTANTLY more responsive. May not make much more power but it's a MUCH better car to drive

    Ended up with 150rwkw out of my 195kw VE Calais. Not too shabby. But I like the 260rwkw I have now more

    100% agree with above . A decent one will come out eventually.
    Seriously, I'm trying to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my arse!!

    nope spoke to Dale at CHE on saturday, he said there is not enough room between the throttle body and the radiator on the VE alloytec once you put the maf there. have to wait for mafless. or try something else.

    i bought a airhammer once it arrives i'll be back on the dyno i'll lets yous know how it goes.
