Default Hurricane intake

Does anyone have the Hurricane cold air intake (made by West Coast Corvettes)? If so, how good is it? How does it compare to the Vortex (which appears to have a smaller filter) or the Callaway Honker? Thanks

Tuned both these intakes and they are very good quite comparable in performance.

Buy either one and you'll have one of the best units on the market.

I have the Hurricane, and love it! I'd recommend getting a radiator screen for the bottom of the intake area...

I also have the Hurricane with the the Elite Engineering screen. Only complaint is they could have made it much easier to take the Hurricane apart to clean the filter. Actually taking it apart is not so bad - it is getting it back together - I always need three hands to re-assemble. Works great though.

I love my Hurricane. I like the fact that it comes with it's own radiator shroud, so if you want or need to put it back to stock, you can pretty easily since you'll have your stock shroud stored somewhere with all of your stock take off parts. lol
