I agree, this forums needs clean DIY's to help eliminate the creation of extra threads.

I'm targeting to have the video posted this weekend, but yes it's an easy install and the printed instructions are good that come with it.

Hey guys.. I have my installation video up, and will create a second DIY post just so it stands out.. but here you go!

I will say, this has the most distinct intake sound I have EVER heard bar none. I have worked with 4-5 different CAI models in different cars, and this one really stands out!



Let me know what you think!

Hey guys this is a DYI video I made of the CTS Turbo installation. It's shot from a different angle and I include sound clips and a review at the end. I hope you like!

Finally got it up from last week? Jk
I like it that you actually show your works, including all the mishaps here and there which Im sure many of us would go through the same routes.
When you put the inlet pipe in at first, I was like: "wrong way" lol
The intake has good sound. Cant wait for mine to show up at my door
All in all, great details
Thank you

Yeah this was my first DYI. I literally just set up the camera and started unboxing. My DYI for the FMIC, DP and CP should be interesting. There might be a few four lettered words in that one.

Do you guys think there's an actual performance difference between the M-Performance Intake (with the modified box with the hole(s) at the bottom), vs the CTS Turbo Intake?

Has anyone gone from the M-Performance one to the CTS Turbo?
