I actually just threw mine away, I never use it. Never liked the idea of squirting soapy water all over my car and letting it bake in the sun. But there are a bunch of relocation kits out there if you decide to keep it.

Your hardcore!!

Clean windshields are for wussies...

Sorry if I didn't make that clear, you will only need the washer relocation kit if you plan on using the race scoop.

That it is. As I was reading the thread I thought it was similar to the VR but just for 12+ Camaros. Did you purchase one? You were ahead of the curve or did you purchase something else ?

Unfortunately I still haven't bought any...no1 have heard of this Xair so seems a bit risky...others have advised that OTRs would cause more dust and shit to go in plus tilting the radiator isn't a good idea especially where I am; reaches 50 degrees Celsius during summer. I initially wanted to get the Vararam; a friend has it and i loved it, but as you know doesn't work on 12+ and I have 13...
currently after some searching, I'm considering true cold air intakes that reach down to below air near driver tyre or lower front bumper; seems promising. There are 3 brands Pipeline, AEM, and Injen; I'm confused on which one and looking to hear from people who got some details and experience on them...

Ok, just going to put this out there... since you are in really hot conditions and dusty, you might really consider a sealed unit like CAI or similar. You may also look at RotoFab, K&N, the Z/28 Factory Cold Air, etc. People are getting good results from the Z/28 set up from the threads I have read.

Also, quoted numbers are not really a good indicator. You will not see true cold air intake benefits sitting still. Once the car is moving it is how it will affect the true airflow.

Check this OTR intake out. Some of the local guys in my area have it and love it.

I have a NEP OTR and am completely happy with it. Tilting the radiator is no issue at all and very secure, no worries. If temp is really an issue it would only be setting still, on a dyno or static air. Once moving I can't see an issue besides it's one of the shortest intakes available.

Is it really any better than a RotoFab or CAI? On the dyno ID say probably not but if you're looking at pulling in clean air once on a roll then it's a pretty good choice. If you're stuck wanting an OTR then it's a great choice. If not explore the RotoFab, CAI or Z28 CAI kit.

I don't know if anyone looked at the price tag, but that's a lot of money plus shipping cost to 'murica hahaha

The vendor one here may lower the price down. I don't care either way I have a 10.

On the 10, the Vavaram is a good OTR option...
