Looks great!! We shipped out a LOT of V6 units last week so we'll probably be seeing a few more threads like this which makes us

Thanks for choosing Cold Air Inductions Inc.!

I also like the way it looks when installed mimics the look of the stock filter box.

I'm not an expert so take this with a grain of salt.

It's not truly sealed as even the space around the reservoir cap has a gap. It also has a pretty distinct right angle turn in the air pipe. I've read gradual is best.

I'm going to see if I can retrofit the new z/28 intake or an aftermarket version of it.

Do you mind me asking why? Just curious

As I mentioned in our direct emails, I'd really like a stock look. Not something that looks aftermarket. It's just a personal preference (plus I live in California ...).

If your current model had a black plastic pipe/lid/box option that mimicked the stock plastic thickness/texture with nearly invisible branding, I'd be all over it.

That said, with the Chevrolet "validation" of the visible large cone/hood sealing intake of the Z/28, I believe many customers will like/want that style with a similar build quality going forward.

If the Z/28 intake was available and would fit, I'd buy one today.

CAI hands down if you can spend $400. If your budget is $300-350 you can find some K&N. Either way if youre not racing or on the track, youll be happy with whatever you get.

Just did the Rotofab plus vmax throttle body for just over $400. Roto-fab is on sale at modbargains.com for $277 or if you pickup you pay CA tax. Got the Vmax from Tyler.

Results are amazing. I did the throttle body first and saw the difference with that then the Roto-fab just made it sound amazing and even smoother.
