Only two things are possible;
1. They all do it
2. You installed it wrong!

nothing like that when I put mine in.Make sure the box is tight and the area is sealed.100 miles or so for the computer to adjust.

Did not have that issue when I installed mine. I've noticed a big improvement on the open road at speed.

Its a tuning issue as the VR is freeing up breathing. It will disapear with a tune.

You shouldn't need a tune after installing a CAI. The computer will adjust the mixture when the increased airflow is detected. Headers need a tune.

I'm thinking of getting the vararam for my C6. I hope I don't have this problem, though I've never heard of it so like stated above...maybe slightly off on the install?

Default Vr Cai

FYI-When mine was installed My "Check engine" light was flashing (still does) and its idling a little rough. One of the guys on the forum said I need to check if the install was done properly I.E. Sealed Completely I'm wondering if I download the Diablosport Predator handheld that will eliminate the aforementioned problems ...
