    Question V6 otr cai?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. Just bought a V6 G8 and am looking to add a CAI (not looking to go crazy, just want a little more punch). It seems like (if I could find one) that an OTR CAI would add the most HP - problem is I'm having trouble finding one compatible with the LY7.

    So, anyone find one that works well or is the roto-fab my best option at this point?

    If you want to maximize the power of your V6, you should consider installing K&N CAI. It's proven and tested. All air being sucked are utilized properly so you won't have a problem with environmentalists.

    Rotofab makes one for the V6 also, little pricier though..

    RotoFab looks the best IMO. Great quality and customer support too!

    I put a K & N on my V6, but traded the spectre filter from my GT & put the K & N filter on my GT.

    Whatever intake you choose, it is good to get a tune to maximize its potential.
