Car pulls much harder now, and sounds different too...

So I definitely recommend it!

My butt Dyno definatly feels and hears a big difference compared to just the CAI....definatly recommend the scoop. One of the best cost to performance ratio's Ive done so far to my Camaro.

Sound has improved! and throttle response is smooth and shifts cleans. I recommend the Scoop WW kit and CAI to anyone.. got mines from Chase at APEX-great guy to to business with!

I would like to say APEX has super fast shipping, I placed my order on Friday evening and received it on Wednesday.

I like the common denominator here!! We hear a lot of great feedback from our customers who use our CAI in conjunction with a scoop and washer bottle relocation kit.

I have the CAI, Apex scoop & washer relocator group. I love this setup! Looks awesome and works well. I do have to fill up the washer tank a little more often but it is well worth the hassle. The best part about it, is that when I take my car in for service they no longer fill my washer tank with generic fluid becuase they can't find the filler. I only use Rain-X.

No cutting necessary. It bolts right up from Apex. It takes about 1hr 15min to do the complete installation (including CAI intake).

There is a plastic "stalk" (it is non-functional) on the pump that you may have to trim off. You just take a pair of snips or scissors and clip it off. It helps the pump fit better in the tank but some find that trimming it isn't necessary.
