Roto-Fab CAI Guide - 16-21 Camaro SS 

Great instructions beautiful Camaro you have! Going to install the same Roto Fab on our 2017 SS

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.

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!!!

Definitely just followed this on my install. That tube gave me a pain though. But happy with it overall

I really like how it looks WITHOUT any big gawky logos on it.

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

Looks really nice! I hope it performs well! Thanks for another great video!

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

Thanks again for this video, it helped make my install go by within 30 minutes. appreciated!!!!!

So without reading all the comments. How much hp was this worth over stock air box with drop in filter?

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.

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

I sometime go to the car wash and sometimes wash the engine bay. Would pressure washers ruin anything on this roto-fab?

Looks the best so far.

Do these fit the v6 models as well?

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..?

Sounds good

awesome guides, love your videos. For the tubing is there a way to get them in different colors instead of black?

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

You never posted the dyno testing video?

Did you notice immediate better gas mileage and power after the install?

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.

What kind of time man?? Was it just for the intake??

Lethal, come to crenshaw takeovers if you wanna have some real fun!

Thank you so much for the video. It saved me about $500

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.

Great video! Solid hardware! Looking forward to installing on my 18’ 2SS! I’m assuming you went with the dry filter?

@LethalGarage Would you recommend oiled or dry air filter? Also is this the big gulp?

Hey lethal quick question. Im looking to get a cold air intake for my 2016 SS. Which one would you recommend?

Lethal.. when closing the hood.. did you see or realize that it sealed/close correctly?

Dyno results??

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?

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

You actually need a Torx to remove the MAF sensor from the factory airbox.

well done

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?

@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.

This one dosent do the whine?

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

Will phastek ship this to us in Cali?

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?

Just because you get the SOUND tube delete do you have to delete it? Or can I hold off

Hey, so I installed the RotoFab but now I have a check engine light. The connections seem decent. Any recommendations ?

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?

Lol the Ad that played for me before the video was K&N

Do you need a tune to run the intake

You had both so I want to ask roto fab or cold air induction

So i kind of closed my trunk and i had my battery disconnected any way i can open it?

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$

I got a CEL after install. How can I clear it?

Did you get the dry filter series or the oiled filter series?

Since its not legal in California , am i still able to buy one(roto fab) from phastek?

do you know how much more HP got to the wheels with this intake yet?

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....

Do you need a tune to run this

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?

Hey Lethal, whats the difference between the oiled filter and the dry filter? Benefits vs negatives?

What are the benefits of installing this in my Camaro

great video, looks and sounds great. wish they make one for the v6, but they are butholes.

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

will you choose CAI over Roto-fab? thanks

I though they said it's not CA legal and not gonna ship to CA

you're a regular mechanic........will you be doing the " tune-up " when it needs spark plugs

This is not legal in CA right ?

Yes lol

sound tube so ugly

Without a tune you are wasting your money
