Product Description
The CTS Turbo EVO4 Intake system with SAI features a large 3.5" intake design paired with a reusable high-flow air filter utilizing an inverted cone design for maximum airflow efficiency.
The sealed airbox works together with the OEM air scoop to direct a continuous flow of cold air into the intake system, helping reduce heat soak and maintain consistent performance.
