However, I have the BPP Vortex Rammer CAI in black, rather than clear.

I was going to buy this setup myself, but changed my mind. Although they "look" cool; I'm seeking performance gain - not cosmetic improvement.

I think this is a must if you want to get the most out of the system.
I have a ton of 118mph runs on a bone stock 145k vette. Yours should be running a little better. Believe it or not, it causes turbulance.

I don't agree with the whole turbulence theory. The air looks like it would be mixing far enough down stream not to cause a problem. Then there's the screen built into the maf sensor that straightens out the air to get a good reading. As long as you keep your maf sensor stock, I don't see how it could be a problem. Granted, it's not the best design. But, I did notice a difference when I added it to my '04...and so did the S281 Supercharged Saleen I raced the other weekend when I realed his a$$ in.

Thanks for the cross reference to Crossedflags website in regard to the dual cone filters. The Crossedflags folks are a nice bunch.

i had Twin Flow on 98 coupe, good looking, but when i got my 01 coupe and after base dyno the twin added 5rwhp above base...I changed to vortex ram air system and picked-up 10rwhp....The Twin Flow is easily the best looking and does add some hp but cannot match several of the other choices for hp increase.

I learned a long time ago that you get what you pay for. They may look ok, but where are the performance numbers? There are a few good air-intake systems out there, that are proven. It doesn't cost that much more to go all the way. Look around and ask questions before you spend your money. I bought a Halltech Stinger for my vette and I am more than satisified. Good luck with your choice.
