50 State Legal Performance K&N Air Intake Upgrade for 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L Sedan
- Mar 3, 2015
The Cadillac CTS-V is a high performance version of the standard Cadillac CTS model. The CTS-V was designed to compete against European rivals such as the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Like its European counterparts the Cadillac CTS-V includes a high-performance engine, track ready suspension, upgraded brakes, as well as a more aggressive wheel and tire package. The first generation Cadillac CTS-V was introduced in 2004, but halfway during first gen production the Cadillac CTS-V's power plant was upgraded to the same 6.0L LS2 V8 found in the base 2005 Chevrolet Corvette.
The 6.0L LS2 V8 found in 2006 and 2007 Cadillac CTS-V models was rated at 400 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque from the factory. This may seem like plenty of power, however many CTS-V owners are searching for an air intake system for upgraded performance. If you’re that owner, look no further than K&N’s 57-3068 Performance Air Intake System. The 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V air intake from K&N is designed and engineered for a guaranteed increase in horsepower. A K&N performance air intake, like the one for 2006-2007 CTS-V models, replaces the restrictive factory system with a free-flowing, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) air intake tube to help minimize restriction, while also straightening, and increasing airflow to the engine. Less restriction and turbulence can result in improved power delivery across the engine’s RPM range.
K&N high-flow air intake systems utilize a world-famous K&N high-flow air filter for superior airflow and superior performance. The 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V air intake system from K&N includes a conical performance air filter RC-2960 fitted to the air intake system inlet. K&N high-flow air filters are a performance upgrade designed to provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding engine protection. This filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Additionally, the K&N 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V air intake system incorporates an application specific heat shield which helps to deflect hot air in the engine compartment from entering the K&N air filter.
