I apologize for the delays and just want to say thanks for your patience and interest in Roto-Fab products!!

If you build a hi-cap tank for the super charger that is compatible with your other products which, by the way, are fantastic, im in.

Thanks for everything you do for our cars and our community.

Mine just came today. Now the tuff decision is to put it on this weekend or take her out all weekend and play, since we are finally getting some decent weather. The video is a definite plus for those of us, me included, that like pictures/video of things.

Thanks for the update and the great products. I will enjoy the whine, while I wait.

put it on then go have the fun. install is 60 minutes or less depending on your skill level. rotofab is awesome. had the SS version and now have the ZL-1 version. mine came stickered in silver and the guys at rotofab rushed me out the red that I wanted and even a few other colors too. thanks for great product and great service!

Finally got the install done! Looks great and the install was smooth. Took about an hour. I watched the video and used the written instructions while doing each step. Looks awesome. It started raining when I finished, so I didn't get to test it out yet. One question, seems that I have a little movement on the air filter. It won't come off, but it does wiggle some and I did not want to over tighten the clamp. Is this normal?

Looks excellent. Mine done the same. Took it out for a ride, it got heated than I tightened on it a little more and it stopped moving. Right up against the washer fluid neck but all worked out great. Yours looks excellent.

Good advise! It's always a good idea to go back over the clamps after they have heated up.

I finally installed mine today. Everything went well except for hooking the catch can on. The "T" fitting is 1/2" and the catch can is 3/8". the 3/8 wouldn't go on to save my life. I had some 7/16 in my box and was able to force it on the fitting. The catch can was sloppy and needed a clamp to tighten. I liked the fact that there were no clamps on them. If I could/would recommend anything is on the "T" fitting have one side 1/2" and the other 3/8". Please if I did something stupid by doing it this way let me know. Also if you guys have a fitting with those sizes let me know. So that I may get one from you.
I still give the install a two thumbs up. If I didn't have the catch can I couldn't ask for it to be easier. I know this is small but I was totally impressed about the small piece of cut hose to install on the a/c line. I was looking down at the box and thought wow that's close. Then I saw what the hose was for. You guy really did your homework!!

Hmmm, I'm still waiting on my catch can and I was planning on installing the T at that time. Hope my lines fit. Good idea to have a choice on which size T to include with the order. Their video was a huge help for me! Very easy install. Actually I should of installed the T back then and just capped the end until I get my can, so maybe a temp cap included would help as well. Hindsight is always 20-20 as they say. But I sure love my Roto Fab CAI!

I have a RX dual valve. I just got the standard lines with it. No braided or anything just 3/8 fuel line. I like things plain and simple. If you're getting a plain dual valve RX than expect that. I would assume all the upgraded lines would be the same, but I do always end up on the wrong side of assume.

One thing to note on install on mine was that my box caught the clip on the AC line and caused my hood to not sit flush. Noticed it after a day. I got the box reseated and now the hood sits flush. Very well made product! Another satisfied customer!

You can use a barbed hose reducer fitting for that line if need be. Any parts store would have these in stock, so you could go from 1/2 to 3/8.

I was thinking of that, I'm just not sure if it will draw more attention to it, as if junky. I like everything looking as if it was there from the factory, except the Roto-Fab. If you did it this way, how does it look? Thanks in advance for your help, it's greatly appreciated. I like knowing how others are doing it.

I just recently received my catch can. I was planning on installing it this weekend. Will let you know how it goes.
