CAI vs. Rotofab- best sound?
I've seen the threads with the hp tests and so forth, but I want to hear the opinion of those who have heard both setups on the V8 camaros. Does one sound better than the other? With the CAI being a closed system, is it also quieter?

They all sound pretty good, couldn't say one was louder then the other. You couldn't go wrong with either intake.

The Roto Fab seals pretty good against the hood when its closed so basically it is also a closed system.

Buy some headers if you want the car to sound cool. I didn't notice any difference in sound when I put my CAI intake on. I already put on ARH headers and a Borla S cat back system.
Sounds bad to the bone now. Needs a cam |

Pretty much all of the CAI's on the market have the filter enclosed within a heat shield and are either closed on the top or seal against the hood. This isn't to quiet it down but to prevent underhood heat from being sucked into your intake. If a CAI doesn't offer this, STAY AWAY from it. As for being a closed system, none of them are. They are open in the front and bottom to get air to the filter. Don't know if any of them are measureably louder than any other though.

Take a look at our Youtube channel and there are some sound clips that customers have provided. The sound at WOT will become deeper and more pronounced after adding our CAI intake. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!!

Have Roto-Fab and love it...
Have the Roto Fab for my VR Convert...love it. Added a SOLO Cat Back and am considering SOLO High Flow cats to complete the sound...but had stock when I put the Roto-fab on and immediately noticed a better sound at WOT.

Our intake sounds great at WOT! Everyone likes better performance and our intake does that as well, but we get more compliments on the sound than anything.
