Not finding much in google... Any CAI/intake systems that'll work with this V6?

Not a big demand for a CAI for this engine

Soooooo does that mean that they don't exist?

The only aftermarket filters you will be able to find are direct replacements. I've looked for this as well and have never come to any company that makes them for the acadia/outlook/terrain models. If you are adamant on finding one, K&N is going to be your best bet. I just purchased one and am finding other things that I could be looking to replace at the same time. Will repost when I find out difference in gains/losses.

Yes, there is an intake system I found on EBay (EBay store) last year. I installed it and it works great. I noticed more power and smoother transmission shifts. I got denied from posting the link so go to Ebay and search "Saturn Outlook intake." The price is $129.95 from "autoproswarehouse."

I have a 2007 Outlook XE with the factory towing package. The heaviest I have towed so far is a 2900 lb UHaul dual axle trailer. The tow/haul mode worked great and we moved thru the Central PA mountains with no problem.

Really, from just installing that air filter it will make the vehicle shift better?, I can see it having a little more power though. I'm surprised there is'nt some "ductwork" going to the fender wall.

Yeah, you've gotta post 5 times or so, I think, before links will work.

There was no duct work with this system. It probably pulls some amount of warm air flowing back from the radiator into the intake.
Yes, the shifts are smoother. The might be because the engine isn't choked out by all those baffles and tubing.
One other benefit is that I don't have all those annoying and hard to reach screws to remove to clean my air filter anymore.
You could also make your own system from parts found on K&N's website.

How long did it take for you to completely remove the older air filter housing and install the Intake?

8) Wow that sounds like it may be easier than i expected.. thanks tremendously!

Great news. I think im going to try and build one myself.

thats alot of hot air being sucked in.
Is it louder too?
Many air filter boxes are also designed to quiet sound.
