Performance Air Intake W/Heat Shield for Cadillac CTS-V (2009-2015) with 6.2 V8 Engine Black

Optimize Supercharger Efficiency: High-Flow Intake for the LSA-Powered Cadillac CTS-V

Who It’s For: Engineered for 2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V owners running the LSA powerplant who are tired of the stock intake’s restrictive nature and want to hear the true character of their supercharged V8.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the LSA is designed for Cadillac’s signature silence, not for raw performance. It utilizes a restrictive resonator box and accordion-style plastic tubing that creates significant internal turbulence, effectively starving the 1.9L Eaton supercharger of the volume it needs during high-demand pulls. This results in a sluggish throttle snap and heat-soak issues that can cause the engine computer to pull timing, robbing you of the power you paid for.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive plastic plumbing with a high-diameter, mandrel-bent T304 aluminum tube. By providing a smooth, consistent internal surface, we promote laminar airflow and reduce the vacuum restriction at the supercharger inlet. The included heat shield is a critical component for this chassis, as it isolates the air filter from the radiant heat of the radiator and engine block, ensuring the air density remains high for maximum combustion efficiency.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Recover Stolen Power: By reducing intake restriction, this kit can improve horsepower and torque by up to 10%, allowing the LSA to breathe as GM intended.
• The Signature Whine: Removing the factory baffles and silencers finally allows the supercharger’s induction roar and whine to be heard clearly under acceleration.
• Thermal Management: The T304 lightweight aluminum construction and integrated heat shield work together to combat the high under-hood temperatures common in the second-generation CTS-V chassis.

The Performance Promise

Installation Tip: To get the most out of your new LSA setup, we recommend disconnecting the battery terminal for 15-20 minutes after installation. This forces the ECU to reset its long-term fuel trims and “re-learn” the increased air mass flow provided by the high-flow filter and smooth-bore tubing. This ensures immediate gains and optimal drivability from the first start-up.
