Scoops & WW relocates.. Difference in brands?

Seriously kicking the idea around of purchasing a scoop and a washer bag relocate when I get the CAI. What, if any, are the differences between the ADM and Apex scoops? Roto-fab and Apex washer bags?

Really not much difference in the scoop, if any at all. The Roto-fab bottle mounts behind the intake box while the Apex bottle is a smaller half gallon size and mounts to the side of the scoop for a cleaner under hood look. (less clutter) There is a tube that goes from the bottle to a mountable filler you can attach where you want. I mounted mine inside the intake box where the OEM was as I never use it anyway.

These are on my list for future mods but one thing that makes me not want to do it is losing capacity on the ww tank cuz this is my dd and running out of ww fluid in winter sucks. So if the apex tank is only a half gallon then how big is the rotofab tank compared to stock?

The competing washer relocation kit only holds 1 quart more. I will say that a half gallon goes a looong way and we have not had any customer feedback saying that they needed more capacity. The opening post asked about the difference between our scoop and others. The big thing is that our design is laser cut from thicker gauge material and bent into shape and then the seams are welded. Others are made of multiple pieces of thinner material held together with rivets. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up.

Ok, I purchased a CAI, scoop, and WW relocate from you today. The nice gal on the phone suggested that I also purchase a WW pump as well. After reading many threads on CAI installs no one ever mentions replacing the pump so I declined. Is this part imperative to the install?

The stock pump has a non functional plastic stem that has to be cut off when you install it in the new tank. The optional pump is just there for those who would like to keep their factory pump unmodified. It is not required for installation.
