CAI Inc uses a special tray under the air box to mount the PCM, then the air box mounts to that. The lid is secured using quarter turn flat head screws and yes the box is insulated.

 

I have a CAI Inc brand on my 2013 Camaro and I love the fit and finish.

It's well insulated, my IATs register only 4* above ambient temp even in traffic according to my scangauge.

 

The reason I didn't go with CAI Inc because I hate the stock inlet tube so I chose Wizaired for my 05SS. Still sticking with the K&N for the 03 cause it's the best looking CAI out there for our cars - not worried about performance with the 03 cause I hardly drive it anymore.

 

I did a price comparison between the CAI, Wizaired and Thrasher. By the time you purchase an air filter (Not included with Wizaired or Thrasher) you have to add approx. another $45 to the price. By that time you're spending almost as much as you would for the CAI. Higher quality construction, excellent fit and a company that still knows what customer service is - why would you even consider any other brand?

 

Been a Long time since I last posted on here. I am replacing my Wizaired cai kit because it is simply falling apart. I am going to go with the CAI brand. I like that matt-black finish. I have a red colored Spectre cone filter in there now also. I to am diappointed in the quality of the Wizaired product. It was good for the first couple of years but it's coming loose everywhere.

 

Cold air inductions all the way,very happy with the quality.

 

Ordered and on the way...

 

Let us know how the install goes and if it feels better. I am thinking about picking one up, but need to get my tranny looked at, hoping a fluid change is all it needs.

 

Heres mine really built good fits good.

 

Looks good. Where the wizaired is falling apart is the bungie cords,the padding that rests next the radiator support is gone,the plexie glass is cracking and seal (door edge guard strip) around the top keeps coming off.
The bungie cords are loosing their tension. It's a good kit but it just doesn't last as long as you would want it to.
