Re: Choose the "Best Intake System" (Cw)
Seems like if you want to do a poll like this, you should make everyone post how many different intakes they have actually owned. Everyone is gonna vote for the one they bought, very few people have experience with more than one.
Make my vote a Vortex, and yes, it's the only one I have any experience with, and I have no idea if it's better than any other...
:D :D :D

My vote is for the Vortex based on horsepower gain for the $. I have a Halltech Tric and am very happy with it. I also used to own a Donaldson Blackwing.

Re: Choose the "Best Intake System" (Cw)
What are the differences between the Donaldson, Haltech, and the Vortex....
They all seem pretty similar. If someone wants to give me the short list of differences, I'd be all :bigears

Re: Choose the "Best Intake System" (Cw)
I had to add the Volant Performance system as they don't advertise and are not recognized in the Corvette community. $262 gets you twin AFE cone filters (lifetime warranty), "Y" shaped intake (no turbulence issues), large air bridge (smoothe inside), and smooth coupler from air bridge to throttle body. 15 minute install. Big bang for the buck IMO. Some of the more popular vendors want more than that just for the air bridge!
