    Default Hey guys! new to the G8 forum

    Hey im david! i got my base G8 a little more than a month ago, I'm a pretty long and active member over at G6performance.com needless to say i traded my 2010 G6 for my 2008 G8, I have some slight experience [nothing crazy] with tuning and CAI, I dont want to do much mods to my G8 but ive been thinking about a CAI at least, and ive been looking around on here for some info but I cant seem to find anything definite or any product that's been chosen more than another i figured i could get a better response this way.

    so in your opinions whats the best manufacturer to go to for a CAI for the 3.6 G8? and i know a tune isnt necessary but is always recommended, whats the best way to go tune wise? I've seen where the ECM is on this thing and i dont think i want any part of putting in a new ECM like i did for my G6 it looks way to hard on the G8 haha any help would be appreciated!

    Welcome! Roto-Fab makes a CAI for the V6. That would probably be your best bet. They make a quality product.
