All I can say is that when you are researching which CAI to get, look at the independent test that was done by JRE to see how well the CAI you're looking at actually performed.

Airaid was tested as well.

Airaid!!

I realize we all have different tastes and it is nice to have many choices. BUT, why does anyone want to raise their Camaro hood and look directly at the ugly air filter element?? It just does not look finished/professional. The factory air cleaner was better looking than an exposed element. The ugly part of the factory unit was not the airbox but the tube runing to the throttle-body with all the protrusions (sound reducers) sticking out both sides. I would rather keep the factory sealed unit and replace the factory tube. Just my 2 cents.

I take it you've removed your ADM unit and reverted back to the beautiful stock unit then?

After I bought the car I was in the process of doing just that, tweeking the factory unit. Specifically the 4 inch tube from airbox to TB. However the ADM intake, which looks even better, hit the market so I went that way. Like I said good to have choices.

Roto-Fab all the way!!!!!

I chose the Airaid after reading all the threads on this site about CAI's. I didn't believe the hype and expected only a 5HP gain but was shocked to actually get 14HP.

Looks awesome! Have you seen the maggie specific intake tube from Roto-Fab? You would see a nice 12-15 horsepower increase!

This is the intake here -



You will only need pay for the pipe upgrade ! Notice how much different the pipe is? We and roto-fab have seen these 10-15 hp gains over the standard kits on every maggie car!

The pipe upgrade cost would be very marginal for you, and a cheap way to get even more HP/TQ!

Looking at the spreadsheet I don't believe Roto-Fab was tested on the 9/17/10 run. I'm not convinced you can compare results from last years run to this years run directly. For example if we compare the 2009 run for ADM vs the 2010 run, the average HP jumped from 4.4 to 10.1 I think it's best to compare products run on the same day with the (near) same test conditions.

Ted - thanks for all your great work

Full disclosure: I've had the Roto-fab for almost a year and would buy it again in a heartbeat.




EDIT: I just realized the ADM looks to be two different models?? In any case, I still think it's best to compare products run on the same day with the (near) same test conditions.

A better example would be the Cold Air Inductions Avg HP in 2009 run was 4.4 vs 10.7 in 2010

Airaid FTW!!! The fit, finsh, design, filtration, lifetime warranty, Airaid customer service, on and on and on... It is by FAR the best system on the market IMHO. The air box design is much better than anything out there and it is super clean. We're offering great pricing including a free cleaning kit and shipping!!

We also offer Roto-Fab as well as K&N systems and I would install any of the 3 on my own Camaro, I just happen to like the Airaid the best.

I went with roto-fab. Fit and finish is second to none, plus it will work with my maggy. Airaid looks to darn bulky and crammed in the engine compartment. As for the Halltech, the shop that did my tune sells both and tested them back to back and got no better gains out of it. Just my 2 cents.

We love the Roto-Fab... but we're biased.
