99 C5 Cold Air Intake Suggestions ?
I recently purchased a stock 99 C5. It has 35K original miles.
I am putting on a Corsa Extreme Cat Back w/ XO Pipe and 3.5" tips exhaust system as my first mod.
What is the best cold air intake mod that you guys recomend?

I love my Honker. Like the Vararam, a true CAI pulling air in from outside the engine bay. I went with the Honker because I really liked the OEM look, fit and finish as well as the gains. I also installed a Corsa X-pipe and thermal tunnel plate at the same time and the car really drives (and sounds) great!
