Halltech well i put on my Halltech cold air kit and have to say i am highly disappointed, it is probably the cheapest and least quality driven engineered CAI ive ever owned, back when i was a kid and made mine out of 4" pvc pipe from lowes was better quality than this CAI.
its a flimsy plastic box design with one plastic mounting tab where the old air box was so it just rests on some lines and such, they just use a silicone coupler for TB to Intake tube when the intake tube is a larger size, so there for it crinkles the silicone coupler. Why not use a reducer style coupler? i mean hell i think i paid 9$ for the one on my turbo car...
The mass air sensor holes were off in the intake tube so it had to be trimmed and still was a binding fit.
and i know its petty but come one they cant even send all the same hose clamps for the plumbing???
No directions which i know its a simple CAI but its the fact of the matter.
Very disappointed and was kinda surprised that the company i bought it from recommended it because i know i wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

I would like to see all the dyno numbers on a stock Camaro. Ive had mine for a few days, want to go a cai, you can pick a k&n polished kit off ebay for 249 bucks. Can someone explain why a rotofab is worth 450+ for their polished version?????? They all seem to make 18-19 rwhp.
Also does anyone have the dyno numbers for a filter only?

Yeah, we all know that dyno numbers are the end all, be all 
I find it interesting how Ted has done two separate tests and the numbers didn't exactly jive between the two. I'm in no way criticizing Ted for his efforts, but if a person relies solely on the "highest" number then they are setting themselves up for disappointment. Ted's first test claimed the CAI system was the best and now all of the sudden with his second test, the Halltech is the best. There sure have been a lot of people dumping their CAI systems for the Halltech lately.
