I removed my covers and threw them in the trash. To me they’re gay as all get out with GM trying to show a make believe intake manifold and valve covers like classic first gen LS and LT motors that were under the hoods of first and early 2nd gen Camaros (and Corvette for that matter - same plastic gimmicks on Corvettes)

They’re technically there to muffle the ticking of the direct injection, but with the exhaust in track mode all the time I don’t hear any ticking.

Waste of $10 in plastic on every car that rolled off the line from 2016-24, multiply that out, and GM could have saved a few bucks.

Besides, instead of that fugly plastic they used for the real intake manifold they could have made a nice aluminum one with something like the Camaro SS logo or “Direct Injection” stamped into it in cool font.
