Ease of maintainence is the major difference. Oiled requires a cleaning kit, while the dry can be blown out lightly with air. Both are lifetime filters!

Just wanted to add that I happily run a Roto-Fab dry intake on my ZL1 and love it. It looks good under the hood, blower whine is definitely louder, and I think it did add a noticeable butt-dyno gain. Makes you feel good that you're doing as much for your car as possible without tuning, so when you see the Hellcat on the highways of Mexico, always give it three honks. Hahahaha.

Wish we could get some in Cali

There is always a trade-off. If anything our cars can lose a few on the low-end.

Looking to get more blower whine for mine, do you have any before/after videos of the difference?

No I don't.

I have one of these intakes on the way and I'm not sure I will install it. It would sure be nice to see some positive, objective, concrete, evidence that it increases horsepower and torque across the rage and not just Increases supercharger whine - which is a negative for me.

I'll take it, if you don't want it!

I will keep that in mind. I have my borla S type exhaust going on as soon as it arrives and the roto fan may go at the same time.

Roto fab 1, I just got one for my ZL1 1LE, not installed yet. My Third one, 13 ZL1 and 15 2SS 1LE, all awesome.

I have done a considerable amount of dyno work and engine work on Carbureted cars ( yes Im old and yes thats why not of my cars have carbs)

Is the less torque from lack of intake velocity or another factor?
Like previous mentioned a few less pounds of torque is probably benificial for us.

Do you have a suggestion for mounting an oil catch can, maybe get a pipe thread to dual hose barb? do you guys carry one?

Thanks for great products!

It still works here. You just have to do a little creative shipping.
