2013 V6 looking for CAI options

I have attempted to use the search feature and yes, a lot of posts and threads show up. Most of which are an enjoyable read and contain lots of cool pictures that make me want to spend more money.

But right now i am looking for threads or posts comparing CAIs for 2013 V6 owners.

I have seen posts about

K&N
AFE
ROTOFAB
VRAAM (maybe spelled wrong)
SLP

There is probably more options available.
So can anyone point me towards a thread that may compare some of the more popular options?

The Cold Air Inductions intake comes with an aluminum insulated box and a ceramic coated intake tube to battle heat soak. The Roto-Fab seals against the hood liner. These are the two best intakes for the LFX motor. I'd stay away from K&N and such, they don't have the best designs for combating heat soak. I've had the Cold Air Inductions intake on a previous car and it was fantastic. I got the Roto-Fab this time around and it is great as well. The Roto-Fab can be ordered with custom powder coating options, too. Mine is unpainted, though.

You can also add an intake scoop and windshield washer relocation kit. The windshield washer relocation kit moves the reservoir away from being in front the filter and sets it up somewhere else, depending on which kit you get. The scoop goes in the wheel well where the reservoir was and funnels more air from the lower grille directly up to the filter.
Thanks for the recommendation!

Fusilea- Feel free to check out our website and Facebook to view our products for your car. www.Coldairinductions.com

We have come up with a great design for all V6 powered Camaros from 2010-2015.
Our intake system utilizes a sealed/insulated box design that is fully tig welded billet aluminum. The intake tube is thermal coated then the system is fully powder coated. since we use a "sealed" box design with a lid, the intake system pulls air through the inner fender from outside of the car keeping the intake temps as low as possible. Lowered intake temps are important to make extra power. You not only get great performance/added fuel economy and a high quality piece but also added performance sound from you intake through your engine. Buy yourself a true cold air intake from Cold Air Inductions Inc. Thanks!

We are partial to Cold Air Inductions Inc and Roto-Fab. They are definitely the two better performing systems for these cars.

I've had my heart set on a CAI intake since I found them through Camaro5.com. Hopefully, by this time next year, my V6 will be breathing through one. That's the plan anyway.

One unique feature about the cold air inductions kit is that it seals the top of the airbox. that is important in the summer when your hood gets to be 140 degrees sitting in the sun. All that heat radiates down on the airbox area. The top of the CAI kit is an extra layer of insulation from that heat.

CAI and Rotofab are great. I use rotofab just because I came across a good deal a little over a year ago.
