CAI opinions/options?

After rummaging through the forums for quite some time, I'd like to try and get all owners with CAIs to provide some feedback on their opinions of their respective system (Installation pros and cons, sounds, etc.). While subjective in nature, it's a good starting point for those (including myself) to start their research into ultimately pulling the trigger and buying one.

Kudos to JannettyRacing for providing the more technical stand point with HP/TQ gains for some of the available systems out.

Out of the Air Raid, Roto-Fab, and aFe units we've tested in our LS3 car, I've liked and kept the aFe piece installed.

The fellas are right..it just about comes down to looks now. There really isn't one that does a justifiable "better" than the other thing.

Not one of them takes more than 45 minutes to R&R. Easy stuff!!

Be happy to give you a quote on any of them if you'd like!

Thanks,
Ivan

Rotofab get my vote.

Reasons:
1. Price
2. Performance
3. Customer service
4. Looks
5. Matching radiator cover
6. Easy to clean
7. Easy to paint
8. 30 min install

like it and company enough to sell to 5/6 other people in our group. Would not sell it if I did not like it cause I have to see these people every week and I already give them enough reasons not to like me...

I just purchased a R2C CAI a few minutes ago...anyone have installation instructions? I'm a noob when it comes to doing mod installations.
