pros - more power

cons - you will have to join the debate over which is best (do a search)

Vararam....

Intake for larger power increase

Exhaust for sound/looks (and small power increase)...

Bottom line is you will eventually want both

I say Vararam, unless you have some sort of unfounded water fear. If you do, get the blackwing.

Most will give a good power boost, since the stock box sux...

Well, I just put in the ZO6 airbox, nothing else, kept the factory air cleaner and I notice what seeems to be a BIG difference. I would guess some of the other setups are even more effective, but this was relatively inexpensive $60.00 and I'm happy.
