ADM or CAI?

The scoop brings outside air up from below and into the airbox where the factory washer bottle was located. Factory bottle would block off the air so it is removed. I believe ADM still sells a washer bottle kit if you want to keep the washer system operative. If you want to keep factory washer bottle ADM has a street version without scoop that will do that.

We have not done any testing on any of the scoops or relocation kits nor do we sell or promote any of them. We have many customers who have added some of the different scoops and different washer bottle relocate kits available and I have yet to hear any complaints about any of them.

I would direct that question to ADM, we do not test or install them. I am sure that someone who has one may chime in soon.

seems like its 50/50

I've been running the ADM STREET COLD AIR INTAKE for about a year and a half now and have no complaints. Fit, finish, throttle response, sound and power at WOT are excellent.
Thanks Andy and ADM Performance.

Our race intake can be ordered with a washer bottle and bracket that is located just behind our airbox.

Call me for pricing.

I will let you know my opinion tmrw. I'm having ADM install a highflow race intake w/scoop.

I just returned from getting my ADM race intake w/scoop and a tune from Andy at ADM Performance. I was very impressed with his knowledge and kindness to share it with me. I was given an idea of what to expect and I'm happy to say that I received much more then I was told. If you do nothing else to your Camaro, take it to Andy and have him put an intake, scoop, and tune for you. He took my brand new stock 45th Edition Camaro with roughly 320 rwhp to 351 rwhp and 368 torque. I was expecting 330 to 340 rwhp and was amazed at the dyno. Thank you Andy for being an honest professional. You have a customer for life!

I just bought a Roto Fab washer bottle from Jannetty and I love it. It holds more fluid than I thought it would.

I bought a Cold Air Inductions CAI from Jannetty also. CAI and ADM are without a doubt your only two options. They both have one weak spot and that's the Aluminum coated tube. It gets hot after you drive it a while. I'm installing high temp pipe insulation on mine then it's off to the Dyno

I just purchased a cai and waiting for it to arrive. Question: About the windshield washer reservoir,does it have to be moved and where would you put it? I overlooked this when I ordered.

Did you purchase a CAI Inc. CAI? You don't have to move the washer reservoir unless you install the ADM scoop (it will just be crammed in next to your filter).

Only the outside gets hot. It does not transfer into the tube, that is something they advertise about their system. It kills heat soak and keeps the air in the tube at ambient temps.

Eric...Yes it was a CAI inc. cai. I was beginning to get worried
thanks for the heads-up.

I’m still going to wrap it, the Aluminum tube creates a lot of heat in the engine compartment. I notice it when my cooling fans kick on. I had never had them come on before unless the A/C was on. No big deal to cover it, my tuner said these kinds of CAI numbers are off the chart when they are wrapped.

I’ll pull the tube off hot after I drive it an hour or so then check the inside temp with a laser gun and let you know what the temp was.

Both are very good. I went from ADM Race to CAI with the ADM scoop. I made the switch because I liked to see what my filter looked like and liked the look of the black box a little better than the ADM, however both look great. I also like the insulating characteristics of the CAI. The only other one I would consider is Halltech, however I like the closed box look...
