I have no problem paying a bit more if this product is legal in California. I was told that it would be when it becomes available and will have a CARB ID for certification. I am just waiting for confirmation from GM on that.

........or maybe GM is reluctant to release this intake since the gains of all the intakes on the market are questionable. I am thinking the factory setup is very efficient and flows very well for its intended purpose. I have always changed the intakes, but thinking of staying stock.
Mishimoto may be on the something with an improved intake tube, that may be the way to go.....

Ford just released three different power kits for the Mustang GT based on GT350 tech. Highest packages adds 37 peak hp for less than $3k. So takes the Mustang to over 470hp.
Hope Chevy responds.

Cold air intakes are a waste of money . They will mess up ur air flow without getting a tune . Trust me as it's happened to me . I put a cold air Intake on my previous 2012 2ss and it ran like shit until I had it tuned . They market this crap so well to get our money . Don't waste ur money on this . Some good headers and a tune is enough for the V8 and just get a tune with no mods . That's what I did and my car is running like a beast

. CAI are just a waste . If you put a CAI on and don't tune the car then it will run like crap yes . That's a given cuz your MAF sensor will be getting higher readings . Speak to any expert on tuning and they will tell you why a car needs to be tuned after adding an Intake . These companies lie cuz they just want ur money. I have a 2015 C7 that I put on a Dyno before adding a CAI , so we got the MAF readings and guess what ? After I put the AFE intake on my 2015 C7 , the readings were still similar . Nothing dramatic

A tune does help but I'm not going to risk my powertrain warranty for a few HP. Which is why if it does come with a tune from Chevy, then that's great! If Chevy DOES release the intake and can prove better airflow with like 10-15HP, then it's worth it. Any CAI will make the throttle feel livelier as well. If not then oh well.. luckily the LT1 makes plenty of power from factory. |

If you want to spend money then spend it wisely and start with ARH headers . They will give you a dramatic boost in HP and torque then Have the car tuned by a professional and your car will be totally different .

people are always paranoid about loosing the warranty if their car is tuned . I have had all my cars professionally tuned and they been to the dealer after being tuned and never had any issues with warranty claims . Actually my last Camaro a 2012 2SS was tuned and something was wrong with the ECM and I had to bring the car in . Guess what ? They asked me if I had my car tuned and I said no . I denied ever having it tuned and they gave me a new ECM and covered it all under warranty .

I want the Chevy intake for the sound and 100% confidence that my warranty is intact. Headers are too expensive and a major hassle in ca.

Warranty is an important factor and that's my reason for wanting the GM certified product. Another is CARB cert for California so that what I add is legal and not have to worry about being fined. I asked a cop about it and he told me that they would never have me pop open a hood when I get pulled over, but you just never know.
As for the performance, adding 10hp to v8 is not going to be noticeable. It's more of a cosmetic thing I guess. Then again, so are bunch of other mods. I just find that seeing CAI under the hood really looks cool. Just my honest opinion Still no word from GM on whether this item is legal in California. I am going to wait until that is confirmed.
