Default Air Intake

I have a 2008 C6 with a stock LS3 motor,auto and 22,000 miles. I want to change the air intake filter and thought that I might also add a VR-SC1 intake system.

What is the forums openion of this? Does anyone know of a shop in the Memphis area that does this?

I think the Vera Ram requires cutting a opening? The correct part number is VRS C1R.
Anyone installed on a LS3???

Had the Vararam installed on my 2006 C6 Base 2 weeks ago. Had the dealership do it for me. The tech there has done them before. He did a great job and done in 3 hours.

Just to let everyone know, I had my Vararam installed by:
Dynospeed Racing
5250 Pleasant View Road
Memphis, TN 38134
(901) 373-1197
info@dynospeedracing.com
Had it done in less than 2 hours, was very careful to protect the car. Great install! Great Shop

The Vararam Snake Charmer does provide some nice gains out on the road/track for sure, I love mine (LS2 version).
I would definitely go that route versus just replacing your stock LS3 paper filter with some aftermarket one.
