Dude thank you so much for the guide. I'm not mechanically inclined and this was the first actual work I've done on my car. This guide helped me out so much, the instruction manual was confusing as fuck to me
My favourite so far, i was not a fan of the other 2. The complete sealed housing makes the most sense, the solid intake tube would keep the most consistent intake volume, and the massive filter with smaller intake tube seems ideal for performance gains or just keeping stock numbers. The more products you review the more money you save me!!!
So without reading all the comments. How much hp was this worth over stock air box with drop in filter?
I really like how it looks WITHOUT any big gawky logos on it.
Definitely just followed this on my install. That tube gave me a pain though. But happy with it overall
Ordered tonight from Phastek and used the 5% discount. Thanks for the review and saving me some cash. Hope it makes it to me before the weekend.
Hey Lethal thanks for posting your videos. My Roto Fab oiled CAI w/o sound tube delete just arrived for my black 2017 1SS. I am replacing the stock air box with drop in K & N air filter. Looks pretty straight forward on the removal of the stock set up and install on the Roto Fab. Mike from Chicago, IL
Awesome
Great instructions beautiful Camaro you have! Going to install the same Roto Fab on our 2017 SS
You never posted the dyno testing video?
Thanks Lethal for the install video! Keep up the great work man. One tool suggestion though: lose the flat head screwdriver and grab a set of nut drivers. It makes life much easier, lol.
+Brandon Jones Very true. It's funny as I purchased a set of those and seem to never use them.
@@Lethalgarage ,
Great DIY install video. Approx how much HP gain with this RotoFab intake ?
Keep up the videos. 👍
Lol the Ad that played for me before the video was K&N
+carlozmrc lawls
Awesome video man! Cant wait to see the testing literally will wait to hit the buy button until we get the results lol but as far as design looks very similar to the Camaro z/28 stock intake. Keep up the great vids been following since you started the channel, as a fellow Camaro guy living in riverside Ca ill definitely be heading to the next meet in sept.
Well, the Z/28 design was made by Roto-Fab ;) Looking forward to meeting you.
Thank you for the discount on phastech and the video! Just installed mine after work and without your video I think it would have taken longer but I knew what to look for. I hope that some day mine will be as powerful as yours is! Deleting the sound tube is by far the best first mod that should be done, really didn't enjoy it as much as the sweet, sweet exhaust notes.
2016 2SS A8
Thanks again for this video, it helped make my install go by within 30 minutes. appreciated!!!!!
+Keith M No problem
awesome guides, love your videos. For the tubing is there a way to get them in different colors instead of black?
They do not offer other colors currently.
HI , I want to install the roto fab intake on my 2022 camaro SS when it get delivered to me in 3 weeks. Will this cause the check engine light to come on because of different airflow? also I love all your videos! Bob W from Rhode Island
I sometime go to the car wash and sometimes wash the engine bay. Would pressure washers ruin anything on this roto-fab?
Great video! Solid hardware! Looking forward to installing on my 18’ 2SS!
I’m assuming you went with the dry filter?
That's the oiled filter. I have the same one. The dry one is more white colored.
Lethal, come to crenshaw takeovers if you wanna have some real fun!
Looks really nice! I hope it performs well! Thanks for another great video!
+Tara Rene Martin I hope so as well
Thank you so much for the video. It saved me about $500
Do these fit the v6 models as well?
I've been waiting for a video install of the roto fab on a 16. I had one on my 5th and loved it. Have you had the chance to take it for a test drive yet? Also I had a question about your vitesse controller. Have you thrown any cell codes with it and do you still use it daily. I Appreciate the time and effort you put into your video. Very informative.
+Brian c I took a drive and have a video coming. As for the V6, I stalled once and no issues.
If my camero 1le is tuned with the stock, intake, and I replace it will there be any damage ? Or should I take it to the tuner and have him install it and tune it ,all over with the roto intake..?
Did you notice immediate better gas mileage and power after the install?
Lethal.. when closing the hood.. did you see or realize that it sealed/close correctly?
+Obed Saldana it closed fine and the deal seems good.
Do you need a tune to run the intake
Only if you buy the big gulp intakes. I've asked around to local Camaro groups and that's the common answer.
You actually need a Torx to remove the MAF sensor from the factory airbox.
What kind of time man?? Was it just for the intake??
Looks the best so far.
I agree
yes definitely looks better than the others.
Of the three you've installed and tested so far which intake sounded the best? I actually like the sound of air being sucked into the engine and don't mind any whistle either, the louder the better. Also didn't you get the MSD intake manifold a few months back? Ever going to install it?
+ShowMeMy0pponent CAI and Roto-Fab sound the best. But the mid airforce, not yet.
+ShowMeMy0pponent MSD*
I just installed in mine do you also have to push the hood a little extra hard to close or did I just install it wrong
Yup, the seal is fresh and it will form fit to the hood after a few warm ups.
Hey lethal, I just ordered a Roto-Fab CAI with the sound tube delete. besides the obvious great looks and craftsmanship. does it perform well for you?
+Kendall Rampy performs very well.
This one dosent do the whine?
Hey Lethal, whats the difference between the oiled filter and the dry filter? Benefits vs negatives?
+S Alex oiled is reusable, but provides 2 less HP. Dry is not really reusable and gains you 2hp. Dry will cost you more in the long run.
Ok, but how often do you actually need to service the oiled one? Or, how many miles til you would need to replace the dry one? Im trying to decide which setup to ship to my "out of state friend," for my 1LE...LOL. Thanks!
+StoplightWarrior depends on where you live as your filter will need to be cleaned or washed based upon the local environment.
thanks - im in the SF suburbs - so, it's not dusty or dirty
I installed a different one on my car from eBay very good quality and my gas mileage got way better and my acceleration, power. for 160$
Which one?
+Lethalhammer “Lethal_Camaro” the seller is avant-design. 2010-2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO 6.2L V8 SS Air Intake Red Color Kit
mine is red
+Lethalhammer “Lethal_Camaro” go on ebay on your phone app and past this in the search bar. 2010-2015 CHEVROLET CAMARO 6.2L V8 SS Air Intake Red Color Kit. you can pm me if you can't find it
+echo echo wasn't asking to buy one, just curious what knock off they are selling.
+Lethalhammer “Lethal_Camaro” oh ok
@LethalGarage
Would you recommend oiled or dry air filter? Also is this the big gulp?
This is the normal setup. A Big Gulp is for 750rwhp+ cars only. Either or is good
Hey lethal quick question. Im looking to get a cold air intake for my 2016 SS. Which one would you recommend?
Roto-Fab
@LethalGarage
I just installed my RotoFab on my 2016 ss camaro and everything went well except my cooling fan goes on high after revving it up and after shutting car off the fan stays on. Only way to shut off is d/c neg battery. Please help.
I’d do a full reset
@@Lethalgarage Thank you. How do i do a full reset? Thanks in advance!
You had both so I want to ask roto fab or cold air induction
Roto-Fab all day long. CAI lost power on the dyno.
Sounds good
Hey man , just installed the exact same intake the same way you did. Idk if i’m trippin but I felt less power in 2nd gear. In the description where I bought it , it said it did not need a tune. I’m starting to think maybe it does?
I just installed in mine do you also have to push the hood a little extra hard to close or did I just install it wrong
@@ihaveranchhand8148 make sure the box itself is all the way down bro. I had no issues with pushing the hood down
Any idea where I can find the connector that goes from the roto fab elbow intake to the pcv catch? I bought a used one off of someone but it didn’t come with that connector
Probably from Roto-fab
@@Lethalgarage thanks for the fast response! my only concern is they won’t ship it to cali lol
well done
Thank you
You're welcome!
I though they said it's not CA legal and not gonna ship to CA
+stephen lau they did... I had it ship to someone out of state and then he shipped it to me.
+Lethalhammer “Lethal_Camaro” thanks for your information, I probably would do the same and ask my friend to help me out.
So i kind of closed my trunk and i had my battery disconnected any way i can open it?
Crawl in the trunk and connect the battery. Your back seat lays down
Hey, so I installed the RotoFab but now I have a check engine light. The connections seem decent. Any recommendations ?
Did it go away after two days?
@@bluewaffle323 honestly, it was my fault. I didn't have the clamps tight enough. I never had a problem since. If you're having a problem, just make sure all your connections are snug. It was all my fault. Reset the battery after you checked everything.
Hey lethal, I've heard of some issues with this cai and the hood. Are you having any alignment issues since it seals tight with the hood?
I have had zero issues with alignment.
Thank you so much, appreciate it, hell of a maro you got dude
Just because you get the SOUND tube delete do you have to delete it? Or can I hold off
+Redzone if you have the sound tube delete setup, yes you have to remove it from the Cold Air intake
LethalGarage
Thx, im embarrased I cant even remove the mass sensor I lifted up the red clip but it wont come off
+Redzone red clip up and push in on the center black tab
not really any gains. maybe like 5 hp but the sound alone is worth it
like an exhaust. backpressure is a myth so you'll get like a max of 2hp from a expensive exhaust. but the sound alone is worth it
Dyno results??
I'm looking forward to seeing your upcoming dyno test video. For a more accurate test, would you consider closing the hood during the dyno runs and testing? In my opinion, if the hood it's up, there is no way to test the reliability of the top gasket fitting tightly and sealing to the hood. If that hood seal leaks hot air, it will show in the dyno results of its sucking hot air from the engine compartment with closed hood. That's the only way you can actually test these CAIs since that top seal is so important to its success of supplying colder air over the stock box. Do you agree?
+Steve Greer we did test off cam with a closed hood. Results were the same. But will do all tests hood closed this time.
Due to airflow characteristics, the Roto-fab CAI actually performs better with the hood closed. the MAF is very touchy with this car so it is important for the air entry to be consistent with driving conditions.
How does it sound? I am only looking to change my stock one with CAI for better sound, not worried about performance gains, do you think this sounds better than cold air inductions or mishimoto? Thanks....
+Sham Yavagal watch until the end...
+Lethalhammer “Lethal_Camaro” watched the complete video....u mean to say i should check u reving the motor with hood open?
Yes.
+Lethalhammer “Lethal_Camaro” does that sound better to you than Cold air inductions or Mishimoto? Only asking cuz perhaps you have tested the other two as well....
+Sham Yavagal I think they all sound roughly the same.
will you choose CAI over Roto-fab? thanks
+Demar Gio Stay tuned for the one I pick
Since its not legal in California , am i still able to buy one(roto fab) from phastek?
You can, but will have to ship to a friend out of state and have them ship it to you.
LethalGarage thanks, will do for sure , now i know what to do.
do you know how much more HP got to the wheels with this intake yet?
Not yet,
ok id be interested in seeing that. hopefully it preforms better than those last ones you tested.
I got a CEL after install. How can I clear it?
Remove the negative post on the battery that should do it
Did you get the dry filter series or the oiled filter series?
I have used both off and on
Which one would you recommend for a first time user?
@@FreshTJL dry filter
What are the benefits of installing this in my Camaro
+Alan Bencomo HP gains
LethalGarage also, is it possible to convert my fifty edition front bumper to the zl1s. i like that aggressive look to it. im already pretty sure im buying a carbon fiber hood that looks like the zl1s except it doesnt have the zl1 emblem.
+Alan Bencomo you would need new fenders and bumper
Do you need a tune to run this
No
Will phastek ship this to us in Cali?
+Zero2zero they will not, I shipped to a friend who than shipped to me
Yes lol
great video, looks and sounds great. wish they make one for the v6, but they are butholes.
+kywildcats They probably will is due time.
I've already emailed them and they aren't going to.
you're a regular mechanic........will you be doing the " tune-up " when it needs spark plugs
I shall be.
www.briskusa.com/
This is not legal in CA right ?
+CaliBoyz technically no.
Lethal Why is that ?
Without a tune you are wasting your money
sound tube so ugly
