Looking at either a Rotofab or K&N CAI. Theres a significant amount in cost between the two of them but would like to see which you would choose and why.

One thing I like about the roto-fab is that the intake tube itself is a nice crescent shape and flows nicely into the throttle body with little bend where as the K&N has more of a bend before it goes through the throttle body, not sure if that effects the flow of air.

Rotofab...that's what i am getting. Looks much better and probably performs better too.
Nice ride you have there!

Love my rotofab. Had it for over 2 years now, no issues at all. Nice people at the company as well, which goes a long way for me these days.

Between the two I take Rotofab. I had on one my car and it picked up 20+hp and tq.

Is Rotofab better than the CAI brand?

Don't take the cheap route, many have, only to be very sorry after.....buy it once, not many times!

CAI Inc intakes produce stronger gains but Roto-Fab has more customization options. Which one is "better" just depends on what is most important to you.
