What-you-already-have ...So ..... Unless you're considering an aftermarket offering for its increased growl and/or engine bay cosmetics value, invest your $$$$$ in a tuner since there are little to no performance gains to be had with an aftermarket CAI.
- the OEM air input system is already CAI.
- inlet air is drawn from the front of the vehicle thru the header panel.
- the airbox is sealed to prevent engine bay heated air from being drawn-in.
- the system is made of plastic which minimizes heat transfer and/or heat sink.
.- the OEM air input system is MORE than adequite to provide air flow. *CAVEAT: UNLESS ... The engine has been HIGHLY modified. e.g. cams, heads, forced induction (when it was originally NA).
.- ANY CFM increase comes at the expense of air filtration. MEANING: less.
.- oiled air filters may/will/do contaminate the MAF sensor.
.- non-sealed filters draw heated air from the engine bay increasing IAT (Intake Air Temperature).
.
To improve performance with the factory intake ,open the metal clamp up on the walrus tooth on the side and remove and insert a rattle can paint top inside it and reinstall the tooth ,this will improve air flow [ a little more noise also]
