Do a little research on what makes a CAI a GREAT one and then look at each of the offerings. Apply what you learn to each one and see which one should be the better one. For me, the Halltech was it.

I agree, Halltech stood out among the rest for me as well.

K/N FOR CAMARO is no were near what ROTOFAB.

Rotofab and myself cut no corners when it comes to fit and finish.We just recently installeda K/N System and found it not only poor fit but also did not perform as well as ours or rotofabs system.

Fuel trims on the K/N were positive 13-15...way to high and difficult to tune.

Thanks guys I've looked the halltech but trying to keep it under 300 might have to splurge!

All I can tell you is that I have a Roto-Fab and love it! The fit and finish, good looks, and performance have me convinced that I made the right choice. I can't comment on the K&N because I haven't seen one and really don't know how it performs, it's a new product so there's not much info out there yet on it. You can read all the threads on the Roto-Fab and I don't think there is 1 negative comment! Mike is always happy to help answer any questions, great customer service!

With a response like this from Andy, I would say go with ADM. I don't think you'll find many manufacturers/vendors giving props to a competitor's product. I think that shows class.

To answer your question, though, I have a Roto-Fab and have absolutely no complaints. It's easy to install, high quality, and performs well. As for K&N, I have had their FIPK system on my former Mustang, and I was never impressed with the quality or performance. The MAF sensor didn't fit securely in the intake tube, the plastic tube was flimsy, and the orange boots looked cheap. From what I've seen from the K&N for the Camaro, not much has changed.
