Default Add 18 HP to your new Stingray at GM Parts House with this AFE intake!


Hello Everyone

Here at GM Parts House we are always adding new products to satisfy everyone's needs, so I am pleased to announce the introduction of the aFe Momentum intake for the C7 Stingray is now available in both an oiled and dry version.

Price for either is the same at 495.00 with free shipping to the 48 states.
To order simply click here
Dry w/ Black filter
Wet w/ Blue filter

or you can shoot me an email at Patrick@gmpartshouse.com





aFe is proud to introduce the all new Momentum sealed intake system for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette (C7) with the V8-6.2L engine. This all new Momentum intake system resulted in 18 horsepower and 22 lbs. x ft. torque and outflows the factory intake by 42%. This system is superior in every way, from the one-piece sealed housing, to the massive air filter, roto-molded tube w/ built-in resonance chamber and premium hardware. This system uses a CAD designed, dyno-tuned, roto-molded intake tube & housing to achieve maximum power gains while maintaining a perfect fit. This is a direct bolt-on kit and requires no cutting or drilling on OEM parts.

Unique One-Piece Housing w/ Sight Window:
The one-piece sealed housing is used to eliminate the use of multiple components and ensure the coolest air intake charge available. A large clear sight window allows for filter inspection without removal of the air box. The roto-molded housing is made out of black cross-linked polyethylene and mounts directly into the factory location on the fender well to capture the coolest air available from the factory intake tract.

Roto-molded Tube:
This system uses a CAD designed, dyno-tuned, roto-molded intake tube to achieve maximum power gains while maintaining a perfect fit. This tube has a built-in resonance chamber to catch un-wanted air intake noises. Two billet aluminum fittings are mounted on the tube to provide a perfect connection with the factory vacuum lines.

Massive Cone Air Filter:
This Momentum intake system was designed around the largest filter possible to allow maximum performance and filtration. This cone filter has a massive 7" oval flange and is 9-1/2" tall Pro 5R filter media. The Pro 5R performance air filter features 5-layers of progressively finer mesh cotton gauze oiled media and is constructed with 100% polyurethane frame for long life and multiple cleaning cycles.

Premium Hardware:
Premium stainless steel T-bolt clamps and a reinforced silicone hump coupler are used for strength and durability while also providing the most secure installation available. Momentum intakes are designed with fewer parts for a quick and simple installation.

Proven Results:
After a rigorous design and testing phase, the results are in. The Momentum air intake system outflowed the factory intake by 42% and resulted in 18 additional horsepower and 22 lbs. x ft. torque.

Power, Protection and Simplicity.

*Note: This intake system is not CARB exempt at this time and is not legal for sale in California or use on vehicles registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

Really? are those increases with or without a tune and was the engine bone stock? Do you have the Dyno results?

This engine is so tightly engineered I'd be more likely to believe that more airflow would result in a decrease in performance, unless there were other mods to utilize the extra airflow.

what I don't understand is if increased airflow makes more bhp, why wouldn't GM design the air intake like that in the first place?

Read somewhere that Diablo is working on a "tune" for intakes. I wonder what the gains are with the new intake/filter and a tune considering you can gain 20HP with just a tune?

Normally there are emissions standards that are sacrificed.. not to mention fuel economy. At almost 30MPG.. GM did their job, no doubt knowing that the aftermarket would easily come up with stuff like this to arguably void warranties and make them even more money

More air= leaning out the fuel mixture= HP/TQ gain=warranty problems. 18 HP and 22 Ib. Ft. of Torque @ $495 is CHEAP if it does not hurt the LT1 OR VOID THE WARRANTY. There are to many unanswered questions for me to use the FAI on my C7.

Sounds too easy for me. If it were this simple Tadge and company would've put these on all C7's, and with the GM procurement folks doing their jobs the cost would be a fraction of the aftermarket piece. More HP I agree with; 18 more seems high.

Not to be contrarian, but in my mind, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Here is a copy of the dyno cart they released showing the results. I have called into aFe tech support and they tell me this was without a tune on a bone stock vehicle

Emissions regulations and noise. GM will sacrifice power to make it more eco friendly and quite

In order to void the warranty it would have to be proven that this was the root cause the failure per the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.

Here is a good Edmunds article from a few years ago on this topic

They finished it and posted a dyno chart yesterday.

Stock + intake vs. stock + intake w/AFE Diablo tune:

Car was run with the stock tune, then tuned for optimal performance with the CAI.
Gains were +20 rwhp and +17 ft-lbs over the stock tune with the intake installed

I didn't even notice their math error. I will call them out on it and see what they say
