No-tune Intake
Hello all,
My 2018 ZLE is just about to pass 500 miles! I am wanting to do an intake mostly for the supercharger whine. Power increase would be the cherry on top! As long as I don’t experience any power losses, and do not need to tune I’m all ears! And also, who offers forum pricing? Go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thank you for the very helpful comment sir. I’m sure there are many threads talking about Cold Air Intakes. I didn’t see any stickied threads and did not feel like scrolling for days. Thought I’d post my own variation of the question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Rotofab seems to be the go to intake. Phastek Performance has it for 10% off this month with code MD18. https://www.phastekperformance.com/2...ld-air-zl1.htm

Rotofab. Don't expect much power, but the fit and finish is top notch. And the whine and intake sounds are increased.

CAI is a box style intake. So you won't get much whine with that one. RF is an open style and it seems to be the more popular one. Then there's K&N which is pretty decent if not pricey. For now it seems that RF is the best choice.

I am awaiting my CAI by aFe (Momentum GT Pro 5R Cold Air Intake for 2017 6.2L ZL1 Camaro 54-74214), It was on backorder. Should be here tomorrow. I caught it on sale for $429 shipped from LSXceleration.com; but now they're selling it for $474. Will post my opinions after I install it.

I run a Roto-fab. Installation was perfect. It looks like a project if you've never done them before but the directions are incredibly accurate and well planned. I wouldn't buy a ZL1 intake from anyone else. IMO the Cold air Inductions setup looks just as choked as a factory box, might as well cut the bottom of the box like EDFHOBBIES showed. The K&N Carbon one is sweet too but I can't bring myself to put an Auto Zone intake on my ZL1.

You can also remove the sound damper from the lid of the supercharger for a little more noise for free.

I used the money to do more expel and have a better paint correction done. Did not see much of anything in terms of value in an intake.

I have the Rotofab on my 2018 ZL1. Looks great for the shows, sounds great during the drive, and if I make anywhere near 10hp it’s a plus.
Will it help you win more races? Maybe not. But at any rate it’s still pretty cool. |
