Air Intake System LAC CTS V8-6.2L F/I 20

The Air Intake System LAC CTS V8-6.2L F/I 20 by AIRAID is engineered specifically for Cadillac CTS V owners with supercharged 6.2-liter power plants who demand maximum airflow efficiency without sacrificing reliability. This direct-fit cold-air intake replaces restrictive factory intake components, allowing your engine to breathe freely and unlock hidden performance potential.

Built for serious enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, this system is the foundation of any bolt-on modification strategy aimed at improving throttle response and overall power delivery. The design utilizes AIRAID's signature engineering approach: a smooth-flowing intake tube that minimizes air turbulence, paired with a large-diameter filter element that balances flow volume with fine filtration. Cold-air induction pulls cooler ambient air from outside the engine bay—typically 15–20 degrees cooler than underhood air—which increases oxygen density and improves combustion efficiency.

CTS V owners upgrading from stock intake paths will experience measurable improvements in throttle feel, particularly in mid-range acceleration where supercharged engines thrive. The sealed design prevents hot-air recirculation that degrades performance gains, ensuring that the system performs optimally under the conditions typical of supercharged applications.
