Anyone else find this strange?
One of the most popular CAI setups (callaway honker) .....what was callway thinking when the named it? There's so many other names they could have picked from but instead they decided to draw attention to the corvette's huge nose.
Vette owner#1 "hey my car's got a honker"
Vette owner#2 "i can see that"
it also leaves room for a little humor: cleaning your filter could also be seen as wiping/blowing your nose.
Great product...strange name.

Hadn't thought about the name like that - pretty funny now that you mention it.
