In regards to our V8 intake, it has been tested by at least 20-30 tuners in addition to countless individuals. With almost no exceptions, #s reported are +12 to 15 HP on stock vehicles and +30 to40 HP on Magn. S/C cars. (+25HP range with the E-force)
Our intakes are very popular with tuners as they have done their own testing and tuning; therefore, they rely on that to judge our products. Please take the time to research feedback from the very large number tuners and end users that actually have or use products. I'm confident you will find that feedback is extremely positive. I wouldn't expect you to make a purchasing decision on just my word or that of any other single entity.

How about showing us some dyno test results that show Fuel trims, IAT, Air/Fuel ratio, AV HP gain, AV Torque Gain, Peak HP gain, and Peak AVG Torque as that would be helpful in determing which CAI is best? Thanks

Here is a link to our V6 CAI dyno testing.

Sorry.....I don't see it happenin and I don't like it. I have an Ingen and love the appearance and performance!

The hood seal has a hollow, circular "bulb" on top that is appr. 5/8" in heigth. It compresses as needed to effectively seal to the hood. The seal is the same design as that which is used across the front of you car for sealing to the hood. It's commonly used by manufacturers for simple and reliable sealing of air and/or water. Thanks for your comments and raising a question others may have.

my painter "lost" my top rubber that is suppose to seal with the hood.

Can I pick this up at my local parts shop?

The seal we use is a specific size to fit properly; therefore, you would be better to use ours. You will be fine to drive as is. It will just raise the intake air temps a little. Please "pm" me with a good shipping address.

just sent you my address. . . thanks!

Thanks for the info. I found on the forum somehere where you had a video of what the intake sounded like on a V6. Can you repost it in this thread for us?

GearHeadPeter · 08-06-2010, 02:38 PM

I found the video of the V6 with the Roto-fab CAI. I have to say it sounds excellent.

Turn up your speakers to really hear it, awesome.

Primus · 08-08-2010, 11:52 AM

Wonder what exhaust they had on there. Any ideas?

The car is completely stock except for the Roto-fab CAI. In addition to performance and appearance, the intake adds a great sound under acceleration. However, it sounds comparable to the stock intake at cruising speeds.

Well still I cant see why it scored low hp gain with JR test

!

Well we don't have that one figured out either. Several very reputable tuners have contacted us regarding that test and telling us their findings are the complete opposite. I would suggest you look at what many of the larger tuners are using for air intakes. Especially on S/C applications where the differences are more apparent.

Ted has a very strong reputation on this forum and we hate to ruffle feathers, but set that one test aside and read anything else on this forum or any other forum or google us if you are in a reading mood. We consistently provide high quality products that perform well and we cater to our customers before and after the sale.
