First Look: Flowmaster Delta Force Cold Air Intakes
After years of requests from our customers, we are proud to announce that Flowmaster Delta Force Cold Air Intakes will be available starting May 1, 2017. Our R&D department spent countless hours designing and developing these high quality, high-flow, serviceable intake systems that are the perfect performance complement to a Flowmaster exhaust system. Here's a shot of the first Delta Force CAI that we developed for the 2016-2017 Camaro SS. This particular unit is scheduled for a June 1st release, but we wanted to let you all in on it. Let us know what you think.

It looks like it would allow for a lot of engine compartment air contamination? Got to be honest the sides seem a bit cheesy as well. It does not seem the quality that others have in this space. Maybe these aren't good pics though? Just my initial thoughts - I might think different if I saw one in person. Good luck with it.

Yes. 5th gens are on the list and we plan on releasing Delta Force intakes for the V6 and V8 in the next couple of months.

The name is absolutely terrible! Delta Force? Really? You make car parts, not firearms or firearm accessories. I would expect that from a company like Hi-Point or Kel-Tec not Flowmaster. If you guys really release this intake with that Delta Force name, be prepared to be roasted with memes across the Internet.

This setup reminds me of my mustang intake that looked similiar. I bought one for my 2016 Mustang GT I had before I traded it for my 2016 2SS and used the onboard air intake sensor to monitor the temprature as I drove. What I found was my temprature would get between 150-170 degrees through the intake because it wasn't sealed. It would cool back down if I drove down the highway for about 5 to 10 minutes, but it was definatley a factor in lowering my performance. I bought another one that was sealed and it was night and day difference in keeping the air intake temprature much closer to aimbent. I just bought the Flowmaster X-Pipe and NPP axle back and love them. Would love to love this intake, but it would allow to much hot air in for my type of driving.

Outside of the naming convention that was chosen, I think what is far, far more important is how this intake performs and what it's priced at. Anyone coming into the foray must know that making boastful claims about how great their product is, will be immediately put to the test.
Flowmaster, the best advice I can give you, is to reassess that heat shield, pronto and, don't price yourself out of the competition. Vendors have already been through the paces on cold air intakes and the consensus is, not a lot is left on the table in stock trim. Altering the MAF diameter or using brake horsepower estimations on the absolute peak possible performance of your product will only further alienate your product. Price it reasonably, considering it will likely provide little to no power AND enclose your filter properly. Your customer base demands no less, anymore.

Looks interesting, definitely looking forward to price and gains. Delta Flow mufflers may have something to do with the name.
