AIRAID offers the AIRAID 252-255C cold air dam air intake system for these models of the Cadillac CTS. The intake uses the original location of the air filter and delivers a big shot of additional open-element air inlet that is protected by cold air dam panels that offer steady, free-flowing supply of cooler outside air into the engine. The panels mount in the factory air box and incorporate any factory cold air inlet ducts that may be present. In addition, it adds more cold air passages to the filter. The panels isolate the air filter from the hot air from the engine compartment because the intake is sealed to the underside of the hood with blade-style weather stripping.
