Default 2009 C6 air intake

Hi
I would like to know what is the best air cleaner intake system for a 2009 C6. I have been checking some out but don't see one for a 2009. Thinking of a killer bee. What is the differance between a 2008 and a 2009.
Thanks Jay

i did alot of research and the bee and vararam are very similiar. The thing i would worry more about is who your tuner likes. Your ride with just a tune will run tons better then just the intake. Both together is the way to go. If you are looking for performance start with a tune. I di and was skeptical it would do much, but the car is just unreal now low end compared to before. I went vararam, btw. good luck, paul

A far as I know the 2009 airbox is identical to the 2008 version (which is also similar to all C6 Z06 airboxes) so any of the 2008 air intake systems should fit, the Vararam included.
