Product Description

The Airaid 254-253 Cold Air Dam Performance Intake transforms the induction setup of the Cadillac CTS-V (2009-2015) by drawing cooler, denser air directly from outside the engine bay. By replacing the stock air box and filter, this kit enhances airflow, leading to improved throttle response and increased horsepower and torque.

Installation is straightforward--no cutting or modifications needed; it integrates seamlessly with factory inlet ducts. The premium 360° filter is both efficient and durable, and the included hardware ensures a leak-free install. While this system enhances performance, note that it is not CARB-compliant for street use in regulated states, and is intended for racing or off-road use only.
