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.

Nothing like that with mine either. Nothing but improved performance.

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?

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 ...
