Air Intake Change
I'm considering changing the air filter housing on our 2011 Grand Sport LS3. The "Snake Oil" claims and HP numbers ,make my head spin !
Suggestions for decent replacement filter without cutting up the engine bay. I would like to improve the performance and enjoy the LS 3 exhaust note also, wet weather driveabilty with the filter system.
Thanks

There is only a personal opinion cosmetic and sound difference between the LS3 and LS7 intakes. Power related performance is not changed. I do agree that the Vararam is the most widely used real CAI on the quickest cars. All advertising aside, the results speak for themselves.

most vette owners never take out of the garage if any signs of rain are in the forecast so you can drive in deep puddles
but really i do and purposely drive in the puddles at a high rate of speed to clean the bottom off, and never had a problem

OK then listen to dennis, install the low ground sucking air scoop and drive thru puddles.

The Vararam is a possibility. The Vararam website did not show the extent of trimming the shroud. I like the design !
Or the K&N #63-3073.
