Buying a 2012 SS soon and was wondering which intake is Best? I have done lots of research on both and know probley cant go wrong with either. Kinda leaning towards the CAI. I will also pick up a adm race scoop along with which ever i end up with. Any personal experiences would be appreciated.Thanks in advance...

ADM and CAI were my top two choices as well. I went with CAI after seeing one for sale on the forums and I love it. But you cant go wrong with either one.

+1 for CAI here.

ADM Race intake all the way!!!!

Sales @ CAI Inc · 10-18-2011, 08:36 AM

Cold Air Inductions, Inc. intake systems benefits:

: Tig welded aluminum air box (high luster finish reflects radiant heat)

: Insulated air box (this adding another layer of thermal (convection) protection)

: Aluminum lid with stainless steel ¼ turn fasteners (fast filter removal)

: Viewing window for fast easy filter inspection.

: High Luster ceramic coated intake tube (coated inside and out, yet another layer of thermal protection)

: Smooth bore (88.9 mm) intake tube construction (this minimizes bends and restrictions within the system)

: 8” V-stack air filter with built in velocity stack (helps reduce turbulence for truer MAF reading)

: 8 layer air filter (maximizing filtration for prolonged engine life

: LIFETIME WARRANTY

We have sold thousands of intakes, have thousands of happy customers, and incorporate design features that make our system a true Cold Air Intake. We see great #’s on the Dyno as well as the track, and can keep our intake temps within 2 degrees of ambient air due to our design features.

CAI with scoop.

Testing shows that CAI without the scoop gives the same amount of gains as ADM Race with the sccop.

Since you said you're getting the scoop anyway, why not get the one that gives the most gains with it.

Our scoop with the ADM race scoop is a well proven system!!!

I'm sure if you take the ADM and CAI both with scoops and put them on 100 cars and take them to 100 different dynos the results will be very very close. It comes down to the small things. Style is the main thing. I picked the ADM and am loving it.

I have a CAI brand with the ADM scoop. Bought the combo used in the swap in sell. Although I haven't seen the ADM in person, I can tell you I was very impressed with the quality of construction and glove like fit of the CAI. The CAI brand intake is a very well built and engineered system. This is coming from someone who is fed up with all the low quality crap offered in the USA anymore. The stainless steel is a super sweet touch that looks great. The gauge of the stainless sheet metal was also very impressive. It seems like all sheet metal goods available anymore keep getting thinner, thinner, and thinner. It's like "they" keep trying to get away with how thin something can be made and still sell. This isn't the case with the CAI brand. The ADM scoop makes perfect sense with this intake. The Roto fab washer bottle relocation is also a very nice touch to add with this combo. More space for the air to flow and it's a better bottle than the OEM one that comes with the car. I highly recommend this combo and you will notice a deeper sound and quicker response/pull from your car.
