OTR CAI for VE SV6

[ve_alloytec]

Hey guys i have a 06 ve sv6 and was just woundering if their are any good otr's on the market and how much i would be up for??? any help???

theres a few, but i wouldnt bother with them until a mafless tune comes out as the airhammer (pod cais) will give you more kw and better fuel economy. Monaro was saying the maf doesn't like being too close to the throttle body, so wait till a mafless tune comes out i reckon

ok thats intresting thanxz for the info. i was looking at the airhammer but im worried about the heat in the engine bay and the pod?? isnt the heat bad for the pod filter???

 

[monaro327]

the airhammer puts the pod right down inside the guard it wont draw much heat even less if you get the optional heat shield.

so do u rekon i should go for an airhammer or leave it with the stockie????

Go the Airhammer

 

[monaro327]

its probably the best aftermarket intake available

yer it seems that everybody i talk to says the airhammer is the way to go. ill proberly get heat sheild as well. they are $395 @ holmart is that a good price or canyou get it cheaper??? also one last hing are they easy to fit? do you have to change the maf at all???

 

[kuzman89]

fairly simple to fit, dont need to change the maf, took me about an 30min to take mine out and put the cai in,

Did you have trouble getting the breather line back onto the engine Kuzman?? Breather hose was about 5mm to small in diamter and was an absolute pain to get back on.
