Welcome to the forum.

Why do you need a CAI? You do realize that the stock air cleaner assembly pulls air in from not the engine compartment but underneath the front? I don't see how it can't get any colder than that. Maybe a hood scoop? There probably isn't a market for it.

Yeah, that! Most GM engines (and possibly all the others) have been inhaling "outside" air for years.

The eBay sellers of aftermarket "CAI HP and MPG improvements" are using marketing to sell chrome plumbing and exposed filter elements that deliver nothing except bling and bragging rights while removing dollars from your pocket.
