What's the best CAI for my MAGNUSON? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

T-r3x · 12-30-2013, 02:05 PM

Hey guys

I'm planning to buy a CAI for my car with a MAGNUSON supercharger.
I heard that ROTO-FAB is the best since they have a specific CAI for MAGNUSON equipped camaros.
Also i'm thinking about buying from CAI Inc

What do you think guys? which one should I go for?

CAI Inc also has a Maggie specific system. Both are great options.

You could DIY a custom 4" for under $100 and it will work just as good as all of the top CAI manufacturers. siliconeintakes.com or intakehoses.com. Some companies make a MAF housing in 4" that are under $100 as well.

I would love to see the data and testing behind this statement. Just because it will "work" does not mean that its going to work as good as a properly engineered CAI with added insulation benefits to keep IAT down.

OP - At least a half dozen shops on this forum have Dyno tested our Maggie CAI and seen anywhere from 24-28 rwhp gains. We spent a lot of time with the air flow dynamics on the elbow for this system and can very easily meet the CFM requirements without adding turbulence. Let us know if you have any specific questions regarding our CAI.

Rotofab

newagemuscle · 12-30-2013, 07:36 PM

Roto-fab for me. Looks the best IMO and is solid as a rock. Color choice is a nice option too.
