Well, of course it's not as effective as a sealed to the outside air system, but c'mon, as soon as the car is moving, the air underhood is replaced by outside air anyway. It's not like the compartment is vacuum sealed. 
And like I said, the screened area on a ZO6 is only about a foot from the end of where the KN sits, so no big whup. I mean, after all, a Vararam is definitely better, but only slightly, except at higher speeds, where any ram effect may or may not take place.

BLUFF, IMO all 3 work, just depends on what looks best and what you like. The TRIC looked trick!
But, with a FAST 90 and NW 90 TB, the TB is angled up a bit more then stock, just a degree or so. But, when you mount the bridge, maf, lower pipe ect... it multiplies the effect. That is why I ditched the trick.The vararam works (no OEM vs cai data for me) but it;s look and feel are just not in it for me. I just kinked my tube to the MAF with some over torq (my bad, too strong I gues oops!
) and even though I heated it up to take out the kink, well, the haltech stinger is on the car now. No times yet, but, I will mke some passes next week I hope.Bluff, might as well go for a kit with bellows, couplers and clamps and make it look nice. Get to the track and make some passes
