Default Last Mod For 2006

Had a good year- headers, cam, tti's and some minor bling. I have been waiting and trying to decide on which CAI/intake to get:

Calloway (a bit pricey)

Halltech Stinger (1st choice)

Blackwing

I read a ton of threads but have not seen this addressed: how do the systems compare in sound. I heard only the stinger, and you can really hear it sucking air...perhaps this is moot with the cam/headrers?? Also, would it worthwhile to attach the blackwing to stinger?

Thx, Ed

Probably the most effective intake (CAI) is the Vararam, but like many Corvette parts is overpriced. The Stinger is simple, and much better than the stock airbox. Also has a larger airbridge, whereas the Blackwing doesn't. BTW, what's a "tti"?

I would go with the Callaway. Replaces the factory air bridge and puts the MAF sensor right in front of the throttle body. Also excellent quality and fit when compared to the Vararam.
