Hey all, I just installed my new Spectre CAI and want to help them get the word out.
Kit #9913 is 4" elbow and Tube, stepping down at MAF to Airbox. Available with four different color filters. Price is approx. $199.00 available thru the usual suspects including Spectre. Fits all V1s 5.7/6.0 and comes with shiny silver powder-coat tube. I hate shiny so I PC'd mine black.
Makes good power increase and after driving have noticed mostly better throttle response and slight decrease in IAT but weather is turning colder so maybe not!

Interesting.

Completely pointless if you are using a stock sized maf.

Still way better than the stock tube, but why don't they take the heat shield all the way over? That's the main thing that would have put them over the top of K&N's unit.

I though the same thing, but my hp went up 25hp on the same dyno when I took my stock intake box off and put a cone filter on my maggie tube. Tuner even said it made a huge difference in what he was seeing.

I'm sure it did, but when you're talking a bone stock V, it's not as big of a deal. My free flow intake tube with a drop in K&N works fine.

I am talking about the tube size. The air filter you are right about.

I like the price of the standalone Spectre filters but for another $50 over this one you could get a Volant Kit which I like a lot better because due to the enclosed heat shield box, but that's just a biased opinion based on zero evidence of quality or dyno results!

I wonder if they have a variant that will accept the LS3 style MAF? I also wonder if the geometry works such that you could use this with a Maggie?

this is an old photo, but you get the idea. 104mm MAF

Was that without a tune of any type?

Manufacturers statements showing at least 1 real life comparison on the dyno between a manufacturers claim and real life dynoing.

These are for V2's cars.

Completely replaces the factory intake system with our true cold air intake. Last week, Nick @ American Racing Headers was able to test this induction system and was able to show a gain of 18 rwhp!!! Awesome setup. Images attached to this post

05-21-2009: 09:06 AM: “New Era CTS-V Cold Air Intake”: Mike @ New Era tuned a 09 CTSV and tested our intake on it. It made 451 rwhp and 437 rwtq in -stock- form and it picked up 34 rwhp and 28 rwtq with the New Era 09 CTSV intake untuned. After Mike tuned it, it made 505 rwhp and 470 rwtq.

07-31-2010: 04:55 PM: KPE: Re: All KPE CAI owners………Instead of using our -car-, we grabbed a used 2010 CTS-V straight off the lot from our local Cadillac Dealer with 7980 miles which was bone stock. We then installed the KPE intake, and they ran the -car- again on the dyno..………….they took the average of the three runs which proved an 11 hp increase. They did have a run that showed +20 but the average at full temperature was +11.

07-31-2010: 06:53 PM: newcadman: Re: All KPE CAI owners: As indicated I took my 2009 V -auto- V (7000 miles) to the same (dynojet) dyno where it was previously tested when it was bone stock…………… Three pulls were made with the now installed KPE cai. End result, the -engine- made 8 MORE rwhp on its best pull than it did on its previous best bone stock pull.
