Product Details

Dam High-Density Polyethylene Black Cold Air Intake System and Intake Tube with SynthaMax™ Filter (251-252) by AIRAID®. The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake is engineered to give your engine larger amounts of cooler air to produce more horsepower and torque. The intake system retains the original location of the air filter but delivers a big boost with the addition of a huge open-element air inlet protected by Cold Air Dam panels that help to provide a steady, free-flowing supply of cooler outside air into your engine. The panels mount in the factory air box location and utilize any factory cold air inlet ducts that are present, while adding additional cold air passages to the filter. The panels also keep the filter isolated from the hot engine compartment air by sealing to the underside of the hood via blade-style weather stripping.

Increased airflow to your engine will increase horsepower and torque, but if that air is cooler and denser your engine will make even more power! Cooler, denser air contains more oxygen, and more oxygen in your engine's air intake charge means better combustion, resulting in greater engine output.

AIRAID® was founded in 1997 when they began developing and manufacturing air intake systems for light trucks and SUVs, utilizing the cotton-gauze filter technology that was available at the time. These systems increased airflow and performance while being easy to install, and sold so well that the company soon realized that another source of filters was necessary. They believed they could produce a better quality filter using new technology and state-of-the-art materials, and so in 2002 the AIRAID Filter Company was formed. Today AIRAID is the recognized leader in air management technology. Extensive research and development has allowed AIRAID to come to market first with high quality products that improve drivability and performance.

2008 Cadillac CTS 3.6L
Ordered a cold air ram intake for a 2008 Cadillac CTS 3.6L. Part shipped within 48hrs and was very easy to track. I received the part about a week later. It took an hour to install. Has an OEM look. The performance gains are nice, both sound, power and mileage.

Air Raid for 2008 CTS 3.6
Was a pain to install at first, but if I had to do it all over again, it would be done in half the time.

CTS Cold Air Intake
It was fairly easy to install, the only hassle was creating a bolt hole in my frame for the bottom of the case. It took me about 2 hours to do. It does add a nice sound to the car and it feels like it made the throttle more responsive. I got the dry air filter with the lifetime warranty, so I think that's pretty nice.

Awsome!
Looks great in the car and sounds great. Love the way it fits in place of old air filter - fits like a glove. Love hearing that whistle when stepping on the gas. Overall, love this product for what I spent.

Delivery took about a week and a half. The air intake system itself was very easy to install in my 2019 Nissan Frontier SV Flex, 4.0L V6, considering I have zero experience installing anything on a vehicle!! In addition, the system is exceptionally well built and contains high-quality materials you can see and feel. As soon as I was done installing the system... oh boy, what a tremendous difference in torque and pick up! And the way the engine sounds now is beautiful. Overall, I'd say that I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with this product. Thank you CARiD and AIRAID for the awesome service and high quality products!

I had K&N cold air intake on my 06 Dodge Charger SRT8 that my neighbor who happened to be the original owner I baught the car from had installed, but I felt like the car felt kind of restricted especially when accelerating hard in 1st gear mostly a little less in second gear, so when I saw this I became really interested in the dam high density duct that would act as a real direct cold air intake since it gets even more air directly from the hoodscoop, so I decided to give it a shot. I ordered this at least 6 months ago, but it arrived right when winter hit and it was too cold to install, but since it's a little warmer now I figured I might as well install it the other day b.c I had nothing else to do b.c of of the corona virus quarantine haha, but the first thing I noticed was how much bigger the filter was compared to the K&N filter I was almost afraid that it wouldnt fit, but it did nice and snug with no room to spare and then I didn't know how much a difference the air duct would make, but I started the car and it even sounded louder and a little more aggressive and now it literally has no more restriction AT ALL and it even holds the RPM and speed longer unlike before it would. I would feel the car decelerating almost immediately after letting off the gas which also no longer happens, so from the huge filter to the air duct sucking air through the hoodscoop it feels like a totally different and better car. I thought it would make only a little difference, but wow was I pleasantly surprised. I'd highly recommend this for anyone who wants a real boost in acceleration or feels like their current filter is restrictive, this will definitely fix your problem.
