Can someone point me in the right direction for a Cold Air Intake for a 2009, C6, LS3. I have been looking at two models one that you oil the filter and the other you wash. Any thoughts?????

Thank You

You should search this forum, this topic has been discussed many, many times, and you will learn a lot from those posts.

And,there's a LOT more to consider than just the air filter cleaning too.

Some of the threads will talk (and show) HP gains, other things to consider at the same time, etc.

Thanks I did a search cold air intake but didn't find much.

Callaway Honker or Variram
both are good, The Variram does block the radiator and so doesn't work as well for road racing (track) the Variram works better on the drag strip. costs are about the same

Bottom line is that if you aren't going to tune your car don't waste the money

If you are then Airaid will give you most of the gains of other intakes at half the price.

Try "CAI" and step back from your screen so the overload doesn't blind you.

We like the Vararam's here, they work well, just installed another one earlier this week actually. Several great brands out there though.

The 505 hp Z06 and the 638 hp ZR1 have same basic filter/intake system thats on your LS3...

But if you do find some cold air, lemme know, it's been in the upper 80's low 90's this week

Many good options out there. The LS3 factory piece is pretty good to begin with. You could start by cutting the shroud to allow cooler air into the filter area , and adding a beehive or similar piece to isolate the air filter from the engine compartment air . I used the oiled filters for years, I am currently using the Airaid synthetic non oiled filter, I like it a lot. Soap and water clean up . Good luck in your search .
