Question Best CAI - Need some help!

Was originally thinking the Roto-Fab .... I hear that it has a real nice sound when you get on it and the appearance for - Under the Hood - Is superior.... I would just like a breakdown possibly of the best route to take for my CAI - Open to suggestions - Thank you!

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.

Cold air intakes are mostly eye candy. You should gain 3-5hp and thats only after 4grand. Any brand should do as long as it's not off ebay.

I had a Roto-Fab for a year and 1/2. Great looking unit and performed well. I switched to a CAI cai with the JRE415 package. Fit and finish are the best in the business and look great! A little better in performance IMO! However, I just got done trying a Vararam that was loaned to me and I must say it is probably the best of the 3 for performance. I like the way it looks also, the only negative is quality control with the Vararam, but nothing that can't be fixed during install! Good luck with your choice!

Give this article on our blog a read. It discusses what makes a good intake system and the pros and cons of some of the more popular designs. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions afterwards.

I was originally torn between Roto-fab and CAI but after everything I read CAI seemed like the obvious choice. I just got my Cold Air Induction yesterday and installed it today. So far I love it. Noticeable power gains and my stock exhaust sounds a lot more aggressive at higher rpms compared to the stock air box. I bought mine from Apex after talking to Chase for a couple days he's a real nice and helpful guy. If I had to buy again I would definitely go through Apex again, fast shipping and friendly/helpful reps on the forums here will always get my vote. (I know that wasn't really your question but thought I'd throw that in there.)
