Cold air intake - Roto Fab or Cold Air Inductions?

I'm leaning between the Roto or the Cold Air Inductions, I was just curious to what you guys prefer and why. If Roto, dry or wet filter?? I'm mainly seeking the best performance but I am interested in both the pros and cons, performance, reliability ect... Please share your thoughts!

The search works great here.

But if you are in a hurry.

Roto-fab. Dry filter.
Proven HP gains, Dynos from multiple shops. No tune.

Done
Enjoy.

im not the most tech savy with the forums as I don't post too often, I tried the search but they were too off topic. I just wanted opinions from people who have the products installed and have experienced the hi and lows. Thanks for the input, I'm leaning towards the Roto at this point.

I have the GM CAI, which is essentially the Cold Air Inductions intake kit. Aside from the warranty, it's pretty clear at this point that the Rotofab Dry is the way to go for power gains.

I've have the cold air inductions sitting in my basement. Rotofab is on the car. Not honestly sure I can feel a power difference but it's what the tuners prefer when I get there. Thought I wanted to keep my warranty but screw it

I have yet to see anyone dyno em back to back on same car, or enough neutral samples of each to convince me either way.

I did the rotofab dry, because my local dealers were clueless on the GM intake - I'm happy with it.

No Tune needed for the Proven gains is why I went with Roto-Fab wet. I'm sure I'll pick up minute more power when I do adjust the tune, but I like knowing that just dropping it in nets me a solid gain.
