So far, I've tried:

K&N
Volant
CAI
Fastlane
Roto-Fab
Roto-Fab being your favorite out of those??

What did you like/not like about the K&N?? Was looking at buying one.

Your not repositioning it, it's just going to be slightly at an angle. I've had mine since 2010 and no issues.

By what I've seen on my car the "worst" intake being the spectre I gained 15rwhp. The "best" intake being the rotofab I gained 22rwhp. Spectre was 150 bucks and the rotofab was over 300.

Since you have a 2010 Camaro, I'd go with the Vararam (over the radiator intake) and never look back. You can stick your hand right through your front grill straight into the intakes mouth (100% direct outside air).

No water issues with the Vararam. We get 50" of rain in 4 months

During the rainy season in my area, we have very heavy thunderstorms almost every day starting about mid June - Sept (Lightning capital of the U.S.).

I've been running a Vararam intake for over 3 years and have driven through too many blinding rain storms to count. I've had 0 issues with water making it to the air filter.

Same here. The plastic one. All function and no fluff.

Intakes are like shoes. Pick the style you like, and price you want to pay
