Roto-Fab VS Cold Air Inductions. SELL ME! Can't seem to make a decision.

11TexaSS · 11-18-2013, 05:51 PM

Can't go wrong with either. They both flow great. I like the CAI intake because it closes it's self off from engine heat without sealing from the hood.

JDP Sales · 11-18-2013, 05:53 PM

It's truly a matter of preference. Both are excellent systems.

Feel free to call, PM or email me with questions.

Best regards,

If you want more customization options, Roto-Fab. If performance is your primary motivator, CAI Inc. Here is a link to some more technical info that may help.

CAI is a metal tube, go ROTOFAB! But you should be getting a vararam.

I had the Roto Fab, then went with the CAI but ultimately ended up with a Vararam and never looked back!

Go with whatever looks wise you like more. Lets be really even if one makes 2 rwhp more you won't notice it and in a race you won't either. We prefer roto-fab because they are local to us and personally really like the looks and options they offer. We can offer you some great deals on a new roto-fab if you like.

Give us a call and I would be happy to tell you more about our CAI and why we feel it is your best option. You can also find a lot of information on our website, as well as hundreds of positive testimonials, and there are more than a few threads on this forum where we go over many of the specifics of our design. You can also search for the Jannetty CAI Testing results as well, many people have found that very helpful and it includes a lot of good data. I look forward to speaking with you.

I went CAI based on Looks & performance. Roto fab just has performance, and Vararam has Performance, but a -1 for looks haha

+1...FTW...I have one because of how it functions...blah blah blah...

Denis · 11-19-2013, 12:29 PM

ive heard great things about both. i dont think you can go wrong if those are your two choices.

Outlaw77 · 11-19-2013, 01:04 PM

the CAI inc system has a metal tube? Just like the K&N cai? Interesting. I'm going with roto fab in the spring. Having a metal tube is total nonsense.
