It would be near impossible unless you can fit your head under the front end of your vette while it's parked. Even then, you need to remove a couple items to get the vararam installed. I would say NO.

This is the same part # on the K&N filter box that I have along with a WCC part # of 11109661 and a cost of $59.95.

I have had my new '04 for a year and just turned 4000 miles so I've gotten used to the power and the way it drives. I could not believe the increase in power after installing the vararam!! Now I have not had the opportunity to compare it to any of the other popular brands on the market, but I absolutely love the power increase! My car has only seen rain one time for 10 minutes so I am not concerned about the hydro-lock possibility as much as I would be if it were a daily driver.

Well they sell it for $350 + shipping which is definitely more than you can get it for. As far as including the K&N, it isn't specified on their website that it includes that. I would think if it did they would advertise it...
