Shoot, would have sworn there was a power increase. 
Oh well, it's a heck of lot easer to clean.

So will I be able to keep up with your Vette once I install my non CARB approved POWER Coupler, how come your engine looks sorta different than mine, was that a Special Edition or something ?
Speaking of CARB, got my BB Shortys in last night (in the mail) no CARB number on plate on headers or anywhere on any of the 10 pcs., of paper sent, gonna call now, WTF

Yours without a doubt will be faster with those mods
BTW I had the smooth coupler and K&N dual cone on when I purchased my Vette and wanted a little more so the changed occured several years ago and no looking back

Truly bro., FUN is and should be the name of the game when it comes to Vettes, IMO. Some of you truly astound me though and your Vette is certainly one of the more special ones. My mods are so modest it embarrass`s me, so I have to joke around. Yours really must be an awesome ride, amazing ! Thanks for the positive notes.
Cheers/Peace,

Looks better anyway.
I'm going to attempt a vararam install in the very near future, i think i will get one before then, and put it on while I'm at it.

Hey guys I installed the smooth power coupler last night, I brought this thread back up because IMO :
YOU CAN FEEL AN IMPROVEMENT IN ACCELERATION !
Just look thru the old accordian OEM, it is a big improvement on larger smoother air mass, in fact C6 Vettes have a smooth OEM coupler, so try it, you will like it, I believe.
Peace,

I need to salute that awesome Red, Silver and Blue
Your engine bay is soooo groovy,
If you have big killer mods, don`t expect to feel anything from just the coupler, but bolt on mod guys, I think you will be very satisfied with your change out.
Fo sho,
