Air intake upgrades
I have a 2021 LT1 convertible and I have a ton of my chevy pts that I can’t use towards a new lease or purchase (can’t be combined with GM family discount). I’m looking to possibly upgrade the air intake. Is it a noticeable difference to upgrade it? I read online some places claim it’ll help with performance and sound. I was specifically looking at these 2 products;

Difference in sound yes, but difference in performance no. That's the simple answer

My GM CAI on my SS came with a "tune", or recalibration the dealer does - for free, even of you install the CAI yourself

Big sound difference, and gets rid of the stupid sound tube.

I'd wager that the CAI vs. stock intake difference would be similar to the difference between the Bullit/Mach 1 480 BHP Coyote vs. the regular 460 BHP Gen 3 Coyote.

If you guys were looking for the most aggressive intake sound, what CAI would you go with? Rotofab, CAI(GM), K&N, other?
