New Era Performance OTR CAI
The OTR CAI is an outstanding product, the supplier provided excellent communication and quick shipping.

I agree this intake fits great, and the service was great. I am a dealer for thsi product...but I feel that the entire New Era team is a great group of people, and they treat their customers right.

I have mixed feelings about these guys. They are very good at communicating w/ their customers (helping, calling back), but they forgot to ship a couple important parts w/ the intake (front shield, hose clamp for breather line), which they immediately shipped out. They also shipped outdated installation instructions w/ the product that said to remove the stock radiator seal. Only after experiencing serious ''bucking'' while driving and stumbling upon a post by one of their reps. saying that the seal must remain ON, did I find out how it was SUPPOSED to be installed. Even after I got all the parts installed the right way, I remain unimpressed, as I do not feel the performance increases they claim, nor do I feel better throttle response (in fact, it's worse), and the ''bucking,'' while greatly reduced, hasn't been completely eliminated. Perhaps the MAF location is causing this? Maybe it's too much air for the stock tune to adjust for? I just don't know. I keep worrying that the computer is going to throw a code and I don't want to have to get a custom tune to get this setup working and void my warranty. While I still love the design, my Camaro does not seem happy w/ this setup.

I have put 500 miles on the car with this intake and I am thrilled with the performance. Please note that I did NOT install the stock MAF, but installed and aftermarket HP MAP. This car screams!!!! Runs very very smooth! It also looks fantastic and blows everyone away when I pop the hood.

Its a nice setup I just say those welds looks pretty bad for $500.

New Era CAI is a great product
Quote:
I've been running with my New Era CAI and ARH system (installed by New Era) for a couple of weeks now and can feel the difference in my 2SS performance. Only issue is a bit of rattle when 6th. gear kicks in doing 50-55 mph (exhaust issue?) but haven't had it tuned yet . I don't think the welds are an issue at all. I had the plain rather than powder coated system installed and looks great under the hood of my SIM. Guys at New Era did a great job and are very knowledgeable. They have their own SS that they use for R&D for their products. Hey, I'm not saying they may not have screwed up your order---they're only human and are very busy at their garage. If you have a problem, I'm sure they'll work with you to correct it to your satisfaction. So far, I'm very satisfied with what they've done.

jet perormance makes one. 140 bucks shipped. didnt try with out it, so i dont know if any better with or with out it. the cars does feel more snappy with both on. as far as power gain, hard to tell with that small amount. i would say it has some. i have not had on dyno again, trying for next week maybe.
