Default Which CAI is the best?

Hello all! I am brand new to the forum, and have never been on any forums ever, so I apologize if I did not post in the correct place...

I just purchased a 2011 Camaro 2SS, L99, (I know, automatic, wah wah) I just had exhaust put in from the cat back, and this thing sounds amazing now.

I want to put in a cold air intake, and I'm hoping someone can lead me in the right direction, on which one to purchase, as I know there are probably some great ones, and terrible ones.

Thank you for the help!

I was happy with cold air inductions before I added FI
No brand will really change the world to be honest

I'm partial to the OTR intakes(Vararam, New Era) but if any plans to FI in future CAI and ADM would be my choice

Before the blower went on I had really good results with the Speed by Spectre CAI. It's very inexpensive. I had it powder coated after the blower went on and all the imperfections were glaring at me so I switched to a CAI inc CAI. It's ok, but the lid can be a pain in the *** to keep on.
