Default Air intake question
Is there a good air intake system available yet that utilizes the factory sound cancellation box? I prefer K&N but they haven't come out with one yet.

If you don't want any more noise leave it stock...Chances are, even when a K&N replacement filter element comes out it won't be what you're looking for. Helmholtz resonators are tuned to the very specific frequencies in the OEM system. Any change from that will make that tuning a Moot point I'd suspect.

I have the Halltech Killer Bee and it's no louder than the stock intake.

I have the Halltech C6 Venom AIS (2005-2007 C6 LS2). I've notice no difference.
