I think these are a nice addition to mods like a cam and heads, but pretty damn expensive for what you get in gains. Yes they bolt on so anyone can do it, and you protect your warranty I believe, but they at best offer minor gains with equivalent drivability. Heck, how would you feel if you spent $300 on the Roto Fab and lost about 1 HP on avg. At least it fit nice. This is the same thing we saw dynoing K & N stuff back in the day. Just my opinion.

PS: And I fully expect to get ripped about this. But think about a CAI for $300 or so and a catch can for $200 or so...$500. Thats not chump change and you may have accomplished very little.
My butt dyno says otherwise. Do you have these mods on your Camaro?
