Quick Vararam question
Do our Z06 screens really reduce the effectiveness of this intake? It seems it would block a lot of airflow compared to the regular C5's completely open inlets.

too. especially during the fall season when there are plenty of leaves. Also there is a chance of sucking up other plastic objects ie...grocery bags, those cigarette plastic casings, who knows what else.

If you get caught in the rain, you'll appreciate that they are there.

either by having your foglight there, or make a plate that covers it up. You can probably use black duct tape if the screen is on. No one would even know its there
