Look at the 2 pics in my original thread above, there is a picture showing the notch from each side. You could even get it made a little smaller and still have it fit. |

Do you offer your systems with a dry cone filter? I have used oiled filters before on other cars and had nothing but bad luck. I hate "recharging" a filter because you never know if you have too little oil or too much.
How bad would the flow be reduced going to a dry type cone filter?

It's WORTH IT to get the scoop and washer bottle relocation kit. Don't cheat yourself, just do it.
Chase at Apex did an awesome job of hooking me up with a great deal on the package. Love my CAI!

Great product! I was amazed at the quality of the product the minute I opened the box. It's not the same quality as 15 years ago with intakes and smooth intake lids for LS1s - hahaha! No cheap plastic or anything flimsy. It is worth every penny in function and form. Awesome job CAI Inc.

the top right hand part of the housing i had to bend all the way in so that it would fit into the bay and over the screw. the rubber part along the edge of the lid i had to remove so that it would fit on top of the housing. worst fitting thing i have ever dealt with the little indention part for the grounding cable wasnt even an issue. IM wondering if the guy who sold me this thing sold me a v-6 unit and not a v8 unit.

I'd like to add 2 things. I have your CAI with a scoop and we relocate and think its great. Top notch quality and easy to install. My other statement concerns your thermal image. I use it for work and something I was and probably others might be surprised to find out is that thermal imaging can't see through objects that are clear like glass or plexi. Makes sense once you think about it, but it reads the surface temp of the plexi/glass. So how are you reading the temp of the inside of the intake with the top on in that pic? Just a question I always wanted to ask when I see that pic. Thanks.

Nothing should ever need to be modified on our CAI for proper fitment. We sell thousands upon thousands of Camaro CAI's every year and have never had one that will not fit properly when installed correctly. There are some troubleshooting and installation techniques as well as some images that can be supplied from our customer support which always solves the problem. The problem is that before people call us and get the help they need to install it easily and properly, people assume something is wrong with the CAI and start changin it or forcing it which causes things to bend and not align properly. I am not saying that you did this, but maybe the person before you did. Regardless, our systems will always fit correctly because they are made to the identical spec, so if one didn't fit then none of them would fit. If you want some assistance in getting it installed properly give us a call next week after the Holiday and we can take care of you! Quote:

Makes sense to me. Thanks for the explanation, always wanted to ask but never remember unless I see the pic.

Bill, great post. I also lovemy CAI.
Can you comment on the scoop some of your vendors crosssell with the CAI? I actually bought the combo but was afraid to install the scoop. Was worried about water coming in the intake. |

i just got inside the house from installing my CAI, ran out of daylight so i didnt install the apex scoop yet. i took her down the road and she screams! whenever you are sitting still and you just give the gas pedal a quick press there is a puffing noise, is that normal?
