Roro Fab, I mean Roto Fab. I love the no tune part as much as the product and customer service.

They (roto fab) say 25 to 30 HP more, I have never ran a dyno. I feel a stronger pull, and the sound is great from the SC, looks sweet too.

Roto-Fab is cheaper, looks great and adds 25-30 RWHP.

Does CAI even make an intake for the ZL1? And if they do, does it need a tune? The others do not. Tune=Warranty Gone

NOPE.... .... that is a sore subject for many. It was supposed to be out for awhile. They have not even shown prototype pictures yet.
I personally got tired of waiting and bought a Roto-Fab. It is very nice and price per hp is unmatched on these cars.

K&N makes a complete carbon fiber box and tube, I like that + a sponsor on C5 sells them way below msrp. I personally have a Rotofab, wouldn't change it!

my .02
I like the look of the K&N piece. now to the bad. 1. dyno numbers look to be hood up. 2. there is a section that does not get sealed to the engine compartment 3. the dyno number they have posted in there thread seem to conflict on the torque figure. the rotofab is what I have. based on the folowing three things. 1. price 2. hood down dyno numbers (that is how you drive the car) 3. completely seals off fom the engine bay.
