Default Which cold air intake for 2007 C6?

I tried searching but the system kept timing out. Iv'e done some reading on the various cold air intakes. Which one yields the most horsepower? K&N claims 10 hp, the Callaway Homker kit claims 15hp, BBK and Westcoast's Hurricane systems numbers were unavailable, SLP's kit is claiming 10 hp, and MTI's X Celerator kit claims 14-16 hp I'm curious as to what the majority of you guys are using. Heres the link to all the cold air kits....

Its just a brand of CAI. All CAIs for the C6 are very over priced. I ended up getting the Vararam.

wish i had a C6 ...

The manufactures making the c6 CAI's are the same making the C5's...

I'm very happy with my vararam intake and most will swear by them. You won't see the most power on the dyno with these as they are made for a track and take advantage of pressurized air on the front end of the car....


best person to buy from

Wow. That looks pretty nice. They are claiming a 40 hp increase.

Get the Halltech Killer Bee AAIS Intake or the K&N for the C6 ZO6. They are the best bang for the buck!!

BTW... you will have people jump in here and claim XX hp on XXXXX CAI... in the end you need to figure out whats best for you and chance it... There is no intake that EVERYONE is using... In my experiance with threads like these... a large % of the population run vararam... atleast for C5's.
