This intake will not trigger your check engine light

two last questions it might sound stupid will the engine rumble sound increase when accelrating ? also hows the fuel economy I remember when I had 2004 gto whenever I installed a intake was getting less mpg.

It does have a more prominent intake sound.
Technically it should improve gas milage...

I am looking to replace a stock, 2008 ZO6 filter element, with a better aftermart, filter element replacement. I can't use the whole CAI system for my application. I am using all stock components now. So a good, higher flowing direct replacement element, is all I am looking for. Do you, or anyone else offer anything????

I can get you a K&N filter for your Z06
Price is $119.99 plus shipping
PM me if you are interested. It is not on the website yet.

Looking for something besides the K&N. Heard the oil in the filter, could cause some problems. Not sure if thats true. Just what I heard.

if you are worried about to much oil on the filter, simply wrap it in newspaper overnight

This is an easy 20hp you can feel if you have a "sensitive a__" meter. I just went to the dealer with mine and the tech said intake and catback are ok but touching cats or anything else will void the warranty. Another thing there is a loud whistling with my airraid that is heard at part throttle. This is normal and cannot be heard with the windows up. I consider it the sound of 20 unleashed horses.

I've had Airaid intakes on other vehicles so I'm interested in buying one for the Z. Not like it's a bad thing, but any particular reason this brand is half the price of the others? I'm guessing it's just because Airaid is a larger company with lower unit production costs but not sure.

I can tell you I've seen every unit made for the Corvette.
It is better made than almost all of them...
The build quality is solid as a rock, the rotomolded chassis
is thick and polished on the inside with not seams. The filter
flows with the best of them.
It is a great unit, through and through...never
heard a bad word...
