I just looked up "Zoomers". They seem to be basically straight pipes (almost). How did you hear the "sucking" sound from the K & N???

I regretted the Corsas on my cammed C6Z with headers, but for a different reason. The drone was unbearable; BTW the no drone guarantee doesn't apply if you have headers. I was told this AFTER Corsa mounted them at Carlisle and clearly noticed my headers.

Weird! I have a K & N on my LS2. I just fired it up to pay closeer attention.... No sucking sound. Did you put back the stock intake?

Not what I wanted to read in here!! Ive got a use one sitting here waiting to be installed, noticed the seal that connects the 2 pieces seems a little warped, guess this is what ur talking about?? Can you buy a replacement thru Vararam or any DIY seals out there?

Glue the seal with silicone rubber and if the Vararam is warped, you can try my fix.

Darton liners installed in a an LS7. I just "had to have" a 454 LS7. The installer resleaved my block with M.I.D. liners at no charge after one of the original sleaves dropped .001" but the $2K R&R ( no 2 post lift) and the tension with the significant other was NOT worth it!
I now make MORE torque and with in 1 hp of the resleaved 454 LS7 with my 427 cu in ( GM block) , Fast 102, LPE top end LS7 and could not be happier.
As for the rest of my mods..I would not change a thing...other than the coilovers....
It never ends..

The VR requires more maintenance, but due to the performance increase, it's one of my best mods.

I've learned to watch for my limits on NVH when doing mods and like the piecemeal approach that keeps the car feeling new, BUT when I tally it up I often wonder if I should have bit the bullet up front and put a blower on and have been done.
I do think I would get 18" rims on the back if I were doing wheels again. Being able to run 555RII out back would be nice.
