What year & engine are you talking about? The stock LT1s come with an air elbow that has silencer tube attached underneath (donkey dong). If you cut that off, you need to seal up the opening in order to prevent sucking up all kinds of dirt and damaging your engine. As far as I know CAIs keep the same old elbow.

Or don't worry about it since the "donkey dong" does not protrude into the intake so it can't hinder flow too much...
