I have the K&N Aircharger on mine....LOVE IT!! Noticeable sound, power and don't forget the carbon fiber BLING!

Have about 200 miles on mine.
Very pleased... great sound.
Really notice the difference in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear.
Feels like it could rev to 8,000 rpm!
Easy to install - very cool carbon fiber.
Paid $340.00 for mine... huge bang for the buck.

Glad you asked... I have had a K&N Aircharger on my Ford Focus (daily driver) for four years now. I am so in love with the K&N Aircharger that I just ordered one for my C6 (and it arrived yesterday!!).

Immediate results - Noticeably quicker throttle response, you'll be able to see it on your tach right away. The needle jumps much quicker. Also, the beautiful sound!! Its not a gaudy ricer noise, its a deep sucking sound that lets you know your engine is breathing better. Combine that with a set of stingers out the back and you are set:thumbsup:

Long Term Results - Better Gas Mileage (probably 2mpg better), no wasted money on a new filter every few oil changes, less wear and tear on the motor since the oil filtration element actually keeps crap out.

Just my .02:buhbye:

i have the K&N on my 07 Z06. I Like it. I don't notice any different sound though.

At the track my car went 11.70 @ 119 with a 1.78 60' with just the K&N cold air kit. I want to say I paid $189 for it at Jegs.com. Installed it myself in less than 1 hour.

Anyone ever do a dyno before and after??

Here is a link to the install of a K&N on my Z06, and the before and after runs on my DashHawk.

For the money you cant beat K&N for the Z06 LS7. I have one and would do it again in a heartbeat. Ram air systems are overrated and cost you twice the price. Even if I didn't care about money I would still do a k&n just because the mouth to the filter is the largest on all cold air induction systems

:agree: To support that even further, with a little custom work and about $10 in extra parts, you can create a ram-air effect with the K&N, I posted a thread about it in the C6 Aftermarket section called 'Cutting the Shroud' and some friends on here give some great pointers on how to squeeze an extra 5 or 6 horsepower out of the K&N Aircharger
