K&N CAI
K&N has their CAI out for the 2017 ZL1. Pretty pricey, but the tube is carbon fiber and I don't see the dip in torque like there is with the Rotofab.

You say you don't see the dip in TQ as you do in the Roto Fab. Will you post the shop that did the comparison on the CAI? Thanks.

Dyno sheets, especially from manufacturers are always going to be a little...ahem...generous where it needs to be.
Just my findings over the years... |

It looks neat but...list price of $1200 and sale price of $661.99?? No way man. Plus looking at the heat shield, I'm not sure it'll block off engine bay heat as good as the Roto-Fab. I would be tempted to try it if the price came down to somewhere around $300. I'm not really a fan of K&N and I don't think their products are quality like RF, Airaid, CAI, and other top brands. So I def wouldn't pay as much for it.

Exactly... Roto Fab posted nothing about in house numbers. They sent their CAI and then posted vendors results.

With a blower car especially, you could be all over the map. I wasn't pointing fingers or burning bridges, but a cold air kit looks great, makes a great induction noise, etc. If you see a few HP, you're in good shape. I'm getting a CAI, and am not too familiar with Roto-Fab, but I have never been really keen on K&N. |

Do the cold air kits give these cars a louder blower whine? That's all I wanna know.

Let's see the non carbon fiber option. $700 is ridiculous for a cold air intake. These things were $150-$300 all day in my 03 Cobra days.
