Anyone know when this item is going to be available?
Service guy from GM dealer told me that this would be completely legal in CA since it is manufactured by GM. I can't wait to get this installed!

From the GM performance site:

BREATHE EASY
PERFORMANCE AIR INTAKE
P/N 23408280 (Camaro SS with LT1 V8) / MSRP: Early 2016
Upgrade the look and performance of your 2016 Camaro with the Chevrolet Performance air intake. The entire airbox is hand constructed from aluminum and is powder coated for durability. This intake looks great under the hood. It is available for LT1 applications and reduces air intake restriction by 17% at peak airflow (350gr per second).

Early spring this year it is suppose to be released so hopefully soon I'm going to do the Cai also for warranty reasons and that it is supposedly coming with a calibration unlike any Other intakes that are out.

Tuned a lot of cars so I know if there not tuned in they can put your fuel trims off over time. And with direct injection i would want it calibrated or tuned.

I got tired or waiting so I dropped $$ down for the Mishimoto intake. With all due respect to GM they suck when it comes to accessories . It is better not to show us anything and announce they have something "due out in ...." And not have any follow up on the progress.
At this point Phasetech has a CAI ready for sale as does Mishimoto.The fact that it may or may not come with a "tune" will not be a huge deciding factor for me to wait. The tinted tails, the colored grill, ect...nothing even on the potential for these products there has to be someone in charge of this division that can "project" dates of availability..I would rather get a GM product ( even though they are just made by someone else) ...moving on

Just received my Cold Air Inductions intake today in black.

This is a beautiful piece.

It IS the G.M intake, G.M just relabeled.

It dynos at 11 hp and 27 lb-ft of torque and NO tune, http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/eng...in-30-minutes/

Fuel trims are unaffected, not sure how G.M is pulling more out of it with a tune, not too mention that this intake is $100.00 cheaper.

Keep in mind that no tune means no warranty issues.

Difference is whether it is legal in CA. I've used CA I brand before and I loved it. But I didn't like the idea of having something illegal to use.

Still waiting for an independent dyno test...

$100 cheaper? GM hasn't announced the price yet.

That torque number sounds too good to be true. I can see maybe 11hp at peak but 27 lb-ft of torque...

That's not how it works. If GM can prove the modification caused something to go wrong then the warranty on anything associated is voided. Obviously, with this intake your chances are pretty low for having an issue.

I had a direct injection motor for 5 years a LNF I had a catch can in it from new.

My experience was this by 20000km the injectors went the engine light came on every 2000 km power was down and my head was caked in carbon sea foamed it new injectors new head new tune drove on for 33000km with out a problem. Now this was a turbo motor with full bolt ons minus a upgraded intercooler.

That said fuel trims matter on cars I used to log it was fine at first then got wacky over time don't be surprised if problems come up any NA car I did before never had a issue but the turbo with direct injection was. This could of just been bad luck but with no tune or calibration your putting parts on that we're not designed to work with the stock calibration.

Computer will compensate a bit but over time I could see a issue but only time will tell just telling my experience with direct injection. This was a 2008 cobalt SS turbo direct injection

GM did announce the price for it. $415. As for the release, I am willing to bet they are waiting to actually get their CARB certificate done before releasing BOTH the CARB Certified and NON-CARB certified one. CARB certification is a very long and expensive process.

Yeah, no kidding. While I appreciate all vendors and companies provide numbers. I take em all with a grain of salt. Even when others do it, unless they live in the same town and use the same gas as me lol. Way too many factors to effect #s.

Exactly....holding off for now to see what the real world tests show, and even then I may not be sold.

I've mentioned this in another post, but that dyno chart they provided is sketchy for these reasons:
- If the new intake is really providing less restriction as advertised, the positive delta in power should be proportional to engine speed - it's not.
- The biggest torque difference is in the 3200 - 4800 RPM window... Why? MAF reading inaccurate? It's almost certainly not due to reduced intake restriction.

Without the data logs from those runs, it's hard to know exactly what's going on. I'm skeptical of that level of gain though and wonder if that will be able to be reproduced when the part is in customer hands.

When did they release a price and where can I see this price in writing?
