was at the dealership to get the seat bolt recall done and was checking out the Black Z/28 they had in the show room, pretty cool seeing the intake on an actual Z/28 this intake definitely has some Cool factor.

From a longevity/reliability standpoint what's the care of the filter like?

It's a dry filter right? Is it washable? What about rain performance? I'm loving this one and I'll probably pull the trigger soon but I was wondering how it would hold up on a daily driver?

It's a dry filter, not washable, I've been in the rain with no issues, mine's a daily driver.

I expect it will have no different issues than any other open top CAI.

Got the Z28 intake today and installed it. I like the look and I noticed the end of the filter has Z28 embossed on it, neat. I am happy with it and the install was easy but GM really should have put more thought into the hose they supplied with it. On the upside I can feel the difference in preformance and I got it at a dealership where they gave me a discount, I paid 400 canadian for it well worth it.

What is the filter life? And would you replace it after so many miles or go to a washable oiled filter?

I don't know what the filter life is, somebody with a Z owners manual would know. As far as replacement goes I would probably stay with the GM preformance filter.

So, finally got mine installed. I really don't notice a power difference until the high RPMs, where it seems to breath easier.

As for aesthetics, I attempted to run the 'clean side' PVC line around back, under the cover, and to the 1LE separator, but I wasn't happy with the way it looked or how it sat on the painted engine cover.

So, I ended up just running it at the front and connecting in to the 1LE separator tube. I used the Dorman 800-059 quick connect that CDB95 did. However, in an effort to use the same braided lines I used on my RX catch can, I cut the quick connect and attached the braided line to it and the 1LE separator tube. I then used heat shrink to give it a clean appearance.
