GM Intake Fits on 2021 LT1?

Looking at the GM intake but it doesn't appear that fitment has been updated for the 2021 Camaro. I'm not aware of any motor changes from the 2020 that would cause it to no longer fit. Has anyone put one on yet and can confirm?

It'll fit, when I bought mine for my 2020 2SS it showed "Fits 2016-2019 LT1 engines"

Could there possibly be an update to the ECU that would prevent them from doing the reflash?

Highly, highly doubt that, they want to sell these aftermarket parts, the flash will be the correct one for your car.

Emissions requirements may have changed for 2021. It's possible that the flash has not been released for 2021 and that may be why the intake isn't listed for 2021 models. The dealers will not be able to flash a 2021 if the GM system doesn't allow it.

I think you are right, Dealer just messaged me back and said they could not get the intake for emissions reasons and that GM was working on a fix but no ETA. And my damn accessory credit expires in 20 days

I guess I'm getting the strut bar and the 1LE short shifter? I don't like the GM spoilers all that much and I'm not sure about just the Sway bars and not the full 1LE spec suspension and I don't feel like forking another 1K on top of the accessory credit when I can order that online from one of the wholesalers for a lot cheaper (my "we're sorry your valvespring broke on day 1" coupon only works at the dealer). Plus I don't want to risk not being able to get up my driveway.

Is the shifter really worth it? it says only a 8.75% throw reduction which is probably not very noticeable unless there is upgraded bushings and or design.

Man, I'm really striking out. I think the 1LE spec upgrade requires Magride (not even available on the LT1 so the site shouldn't even be showing it to me.) The Sway bar kit says it requires the lowering kit so that brings up the cost more and almost guarantee's driveway issues. Looks like the only thing I can get is the strut bar and then I'm adding Splash guards and probably some of the car care stuff to use the full voucher.

Shopchevyparts.com has the GM CAI listed for the 2021, they’re affiliated with a dealer group. I sent a support ticket to double check that the part is valid
For 2021.

I know it will fit, but there is a (small) chance Chevy changed or EPA/etc. changed something not allowing the tune for 2021's. Best to check, I am sure the answer will be 'you're good to go,' will also help with dealers trying to pull teeth to do the tune.

Wonder if this would also be a dealer that will try and charge you separately to apply the tune, too... Just because they're a dealer doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.

I would check with other shops...

They literally had it ordered and then a week later I had them check on the order and they said GM had basically cancelled it.
