That means nothing other than a possible supply problem.

I did a little digging on this, and it looks like you can order it for a 21 if you order it with the vehicle, but you can't order it as an accessory. Not sure exactly what is going on, but I can't imagine GM would let it sit like this for long because they are losing sales. In theory, if you could get one, there "should" be a tune for it.

Don't quote me on that though, since I know very little about how the flash system works. If you order the Air Intake with the vehicle, it is tied to your VIN, and the flash system might be looking for the RPO code on 2021 vehicles before allowing the flash. If anyone knows a good dealership tech, they might be able to explain the nuances of the re-flash for something like this.

Low supply on items will tend to prioritize accessory items to be sold WITH a car over someone ordering it as a separate purchase. This was happening last summer with the windscreens for the convertibles...

I tried to order the intake with my 21' SS last year (ordered August) and the system would not allow my salesman to add it to the build list. He even printed out the sheet and had me look it over to see if he was missing it, but it wasn't there.

So even trying to add the intake for a new build, it was not available.

I just took delivery of a 2021 SS 1LE that had the intake installed at the dealer and the calibration updated.
