20 Best Cold Air Intake For C6 Corvette (2023 Updated)

Great product! Installed it in my ’06 3LT Corvette Coupe in less then 30 minutes, start to finish. Watched the YouTube videos before starting and the provided instruction sheet was easy to follow. It’s been a couple of days since I installed it and have noticed improvements in motor response and performance especially at low RPMs and while accelerating.

I have also noticed a slight difference in the sound, it’s a little deeper. Haven’t driven enough to say what the impact on average MPG is although, I expect there will be an improvement as there was with my 2013 Camaro SS after I installed a K&N Cold Air Induction system in it.

Highly recommend this to anyone.

I bought this filter mainly because Autozone had a healthy discount. Not sure how my car will benefit though it’s likely breathing a lot easier with this filter. My main concern was in the mounting of the top of the filter to the vehicle body.

Instructions claimed that existing clips could be used but this was not possible for my car and I have to think other C-6 corvette model years. I had to improvise and obtain screws and washers to make the attachment, otherwise the filter would be hanging there, unfastened.

Fit and finish of the filter housing and the other hardware was good. But the price of these filters, even discounted is still high. I’m hoping the name brand means something when I sell the vehicle and is seen as an upgrade, which it is.

Highly recommend, quality product. Very pleased with the fit and increased performance of my 2007 Corvette after installation. Installation was easy with good directions provided by K&N. If you have a corvette, be careful when removing the factory system as the rubber grommets can break as one of mine did, you will need two of the rubber grommets to complete the install of the K&N cold air intake.

I was looking for an easy, quick, and inexpensive way to avoid the Corvette upcharge for parts. This fit the bill perfectly! Installed in about an hour. Instructions were helpful on occasion; the hardest part is removing the old and carefully placing the new intake into their respective position.

As far as dyno results, I have no idea- the claim of 27 horsepower is about 6% of the total power available, and that’s being conservative- it’s not super noticeable. The biggest difference is the sound of the intake and a little (barely noticeable, really) throatier exhaust.

I wasn’t expecting a miracle product, but it fits exactly what I was looking for- million-mile reusable filter and a good intake sound when you crack the throttle blade. Unless you’re partial to Halltech or Lingenfelter or any other intake, this one is not bad at all.

I’ve used K&N for years and have never had an issue.

The mass air flow sensor would not fit properly in the intake tube. Talked to customer service and KN is reportedly sending me a new tube however I’ve yet to see it. Seems to be taking awhile.

This intake is awesome. It was very easy to bolt in, it only took me like 30 minutes, everything is right up top. The best part is the sound, this really makes my engine sound like a monster. Then the HP was.

well let’s just say, I had to learn to drive my car differently after this. LOVE IT. 5 star all the way.

This is my first Challenger, and fitting a CAÍ is a bit more difficult than fitting one on a 5. 0. Was having a bit of trouble fitting the coupler on correctly without having leaks. But an hour later or so, I got it adjusted where it can be just right.

Definitely sends a bit more punch and torque now. And I love it! Thank you Corsa Performance and thank you AM family.

I am very happy with this purchase. It looks good and functions just fine. I bought it because I have a corsa exhaust as well and preferred the filter design to other brands. It is higher priced but I think it is worth the money.

They did forget to put instructions in the box but had a you tube video that was very good. The filter was difficult to install into the air box but I did get it to fit nicely.

Excellent Fit. Hard install for the lower tube but once it’s on its on. Love it. will be sad to see it go when I put on the hellcat supercharcharger. Great horsepower gain if combined with a tune.

Product installed on a manual 6 speed 2014 Mustang 5. 0. While many are aware these aftermarket intakes are superior over factory, it goes without saying that not all are created equal. Having installed the Corsa cold air intake (49750) this past weekend, I wasn’t aware just how much the difference would be over other highly advertised brands.

Not only had I noticed smoother response through the lower rpm range, a consistent lower idle through cruising, or touring speeds, but an unmistakable snap of acceleration just shy of the beginning of the power band.

A kind of acceleration on could only imagine if the car was somehow made lighter. I cannot express just how much this closed box air intake far exceeds the open box air intake on my previous Mustang.

Corsa is seriously a product leader, that stands in front of the bigger more advertised names of companies that put advertising above their product quality. You’ll never regret picking Corsa before all others.

The Corsa cold air intake is a nice upgrade and easy install. You won’t get a ton of power from it, but it looks really nice in the engine and compliments everything well. My 2017 didn’t have the extra hose that the 15’s, 16’s, and early 17’s have, sop I had to run down to NAPA and grab a cover/plug for that extra hose nipple, but other than that the fit was good and it works well.

I added this and did my exhaust at the same time, so I can’t tell how much of a difference the Corsa intake has had on my exhaust and engine growl because my Borla exhaust has been the most noticeable change to all that and it’s hard to differentiate or know how much the Corsa contributed to that.

But, I’m very happy with it and the price is pretty low for cold air intakes, especially when considering the Corsa quality and aesthetics.

since i needed a closed airbox, i narrowed it down between this and the airaid unit. i chose this one because of its smaller overall size and it was cheaper. first, i was disappointed that the lid was plastic, not metal, but that was okay because i planned on fabricating a custom lid anyway.

secondly, i was surprised to see the fittings on the tube were cheap-looking plastic, not metal, and thirdly, the overall fit of the unit in the car, and tube to the airbox fit was hardly a “drop-in” like the airaid unit on my previous (2012) mustang.

it does look good, and that was important to me, and should look even better with a custom lid.

The intake was easy to install, I expected it to be a higher quality for the price I paid. The seams from the molding process were not smoothed out which makes the grommet for the temperature sensor not fit very well.

The MAF sensor fits directly in the air bridge without the use of couplers, it’s a very loose fit and you really have to crank down on the clamp to hold it on. Due to the lack of couplers I am afraid the filter is going to fall off if you hit a bump too hard.

The port for the air pump is also not smooth due to the molding process and makes for a poor fit.

Excellent product, quick install. Can feel seat of the pants hp. Especially mid-upper rpm. Great bang for your buck.

Only prob. is that my 2003 Vett keeps throwing codes so the check engine lite comes on. I will have to get it re mapped, something I wasn’t planning on from a CARB approved unit but a minor issue

Gave the car a throaty sound inside the cabin. Throttle response unchanged, mpg slightly improved. But now I’ve added a borla exhaust, shorty headers, and a new throttle body. Now averaging much better gas mileage.

This isn’t an amazing modification alone, but as a piece to the puzzle it’s amazing, it really adds to the overall performance of the car when combined with other things.

I am not a mechanic by any means. I was able to install the unit in about 2 hours. I took my time and doubled checked every step. There was some conflicting information. I was to disconnect a wire that did not exist and some of the instructions that “supposedly” pertained to 2008 models and newer applied to my 2006 truck.

Other than a test drive, I have not taken it out to offer a performance comparasion. I wanted additional HP because we purchased a travel trailer. The first we pulled the trailer the truck was sluggish.

A friend added this Air Intake system to his Ford truck for the same reason. He maintain his MPG and improved his HP even though he was pulling a 3,000# camper. I am hoping for similar results. His truck was louder.

My Tacoma is not noticably louder.

Having purchased the replacement filter in 2011, I gave this a shot. The replacement filter gave an immediate increase in air flow and throttle response. But, getting the kit was an even better improvement than I anticipated.

This along with a cam, headers and tune netted me 475 rwhp. Way to go!.

I can’t speak for other years, but for the 2018, you DO NOT REMOVE the metal plate that is under the resonator filter box as the install video suggests. That’s EXACTLY where the 3 prongs at the bottom of the AFE filter box sits into perfectly.

You remove that and it’s floating in space and not getting a seal up against the sidewall. I also think it’s easier NOT to marry the box to the tube until the box is in the engine bay. Otherwise it’s a pain the get past a few wire harnesses.

Other than that, Pretty easy install. I love the way it sounds. It’s throaty as hell even with very little throttle. As far as MPG improvement, I cannot tell because I can’t get off the throttle for the great sound??.

I’ll update on a few weeks when I try to drive normal.

I have a 2018 ram 1500 sport. It has the 392 gears, and the zf 8speed. This truck was strong from the beginning. But just let me tell you. After installing a flowmaster direct fit muffler, and a afe get momentum cold air intake ,I gotta tell you , this girl came to life ! I mean some people think an intake and exhaust doesn’t do much ? But it all depends on what you use , and that’s a fact ! If you have an 9pen box cold air intake ,band it’s not sealed properly against the hood and surroundings ,you will actually kill your power , because the engine is now getting some hot engine compartment air ,and that defeats the purpose ! I’ve bought one before ,and a good one , and yes ,I could hear a loud throaty sound from under my hood , which was diseaving , because I could tell I lost power !put the factory back on and it was night and day ! Do not want to say the brand I bought , because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s sales ! I’m just saying ! So with afe , I could tell right away ,watching my tachometer ,how the engine reved quicker ! And a nice growl under the hood when accelerating ! It’s a closedbox like the facto6 bit it’s got an enormous filter and very large diameter intake tube ,that lets your hemi breath ! Remember ,any obstruction ,either in exhaust or intake side of an engine is basically a restriction of flow.

So if it can inhale better , then it needs to exhale better just the same ! Great intake ! Very easy to install ,with an agressive look when your hood is open !.

It took me a bit more time then expected only because I just had another hip surgery. I’ve use K&N CAI’s on all of my MOPAR’s. This time I took a different approach for my Rebel and bought the AFE CAI.

The instructions were clear and all parts fit better then I had expected. You can feel the boost in power and it sounds great. Then take out the rubber stopper and stomp the accelerator. Sounds mean and turns heads.

I’m not a person that pushes people to purchase anything but this time I’ve changed because I truly recommend this CAI. Well worth the money.

So, my wife wanted me to buy this product, because it was less expensive than the Airaid kit. “You know, they all do the same thing so save a few dollars. ” I have been to the Corsa factory and think the guys there are car guys, so I gave it a shot.

Installation was pretty straight forward. However, do not try to do the steps out of sequence as this kit has a tight fit to your truck and you will undo steps if you try to get ahead. Next, the intake hole does not have a good fit with the factory pipe you reuse as part of the install.

I have taken a few pictures of this and will try to upload for your viewing pleasure. Additionally, a sensor wire harness is a attached to the factory box and is not accounted for in the Corsa box. My recommendation is to use a 1/4 inch drill bit and custom fit the harness to the Corsa air box.

Once you pick the hole locations and drill new holes; you will have to modify the harness clips so the assembly fits flush to the box. Last, the sensor itself is an oblong hole, requiring you to drill two1/4 inch holes next to each other to fit the clip into place.

This may not be easy for those who are not savvy with a drill (Measure twice, Cut once). Since there are extra steps, you will not accomplish this task in under an hour unless you have planned for the deviation I listed.

The drive test did seem to give a bit of pedal punch, but don’t expect $300 to give you the thrill of driving a GT350. Last, it appears to help the gas mileage a bit, but I have not driven my truck enough to report a significant increase in gas mileage.

Hope this helps.

Corsa exhaust pretty much trumps most others. Be nice if this quality carried over to their intakes. It’s ok. The filter and box are nice but the hoses could be higher quality(hello UPR) and should have clamps.

Am I being picky? Sure. But at this price point that should be allowed. That being said it serves its purpose.

Good quality product. Fitment was pretty good, only noticed that the molding of the air box was a little bit bulky and and to firmly press it against the bottom support to get it bolted down. Throttle response seemed to improve a little bit.

Can definitely hear it taking air in at moderate throttle.

I read almost every cold-air review on AM, probably twice before going with the Corsa. I like the idea of an open element kit, like the JLT and Air Raid, but was worried about water getting on the filter through my hood’s heat extractors.

The hardware for the kit was all there, nothing missing and install was simple. The one thing I don’t like is I couldn’t reuse the factory crank case evap hose (or whatever it is). Corsa’s connection is too big, why they designed it like that boggles my mind.

So now if you wanted to put a left side catch can on (not that I am) good luck. The little hose and elbow they send feel kind of cheap and like an afterthought. I zip tied mine in place, just to be sure it doesn’t come off.

I think the first time I took a test drive, I could hear a faint CAI whoosh, but I really can’t hear or feel a difference anymore.

Selected the Corsa Pro5 Closed Box Air Intake to keep water out of the intake, it’s easy installation, reusable oil filter and clean design for the engine compartment. I live in Florida and my 14 Mustang GT has heat extractor vents in the hood.

With the frequent rain showers, I wanted to make sure water not intrude the intake and engine. The installation process took less than 1 hour and that included removal of the stock intake box and connections.

I also installed the Battery and Master Brake Cylinder Cover Kit. This added another 30 minutes to the installation as I had to make some slight modifications on the master cylinder cover to ensure a proper fit.

Noticed a immediate difference in throttle response, without a tune, and improved sound. Very happy with the purchase, installation and look it gives to the engine compartment. Next up a tune for this bad boy.

I felt a bit of extra horsepower and torque immediately after installing. My only concern with the product was the fact that AFE forgot to include in my package the rubber coupling to connect the actual intake to my intake manifold.

I had to go find it myself at another nearby car store which ran me an extra $15. I called autoanything and they had AFE send me one but by the time I got it the following Tuesday (I installed on Friday and nobody was shipping until Monday) so it was nice to get it later but was rather useless as I couldn’t return the one I already purchased myself.

They need better quality control before sending stuff out. It was an honest mistake but I’m still happy with my intake especially for the price considering some cost $350-500 and take hours of installation.

Mine costed $250 total and about 45 min. Installation.

Arrived quickly, return was painless and the quality semed good but the intake would not fit my car (99 C5 Convertable). It wasn’t even close. Because of the good service I will try to use Summit again.

Was a tight fit. Looks great. I installed it in my 2000 Corvette. Had to drill a 11/16th hole in the intake itself for the intake air temp sensor. They have it marked on the intake for you already. Overall pretty happy with it.

Immediately after install without any tuning my truck accelerates quicker. It also seems to eliminate any delay when the truck switches gears. The quality is outstanding. It feels like a better fit than the factory.

The mounts are perfect and for my 2. 7L it actually gives something to look at in the engine bay. I have a 2. 5 inch level and it fit, HOWEVER be warned, if you have a bigger lift I don’t think this will fit.

It is a MASSIVE housing compared to factory. I can definitely hear a difference in my engine. I have stock exhaust, however when getting up to speed you notice a much more lively sound. The rubber scoop neck is also much larger for the intake than the rest.

I have noticed a massive difference in airflow and more power. My truck also is able to stay at lower rpms at speed and my gas mileage went up by about 2 mpg. The only thing I don’t like is the clear plexiglass cover for the housing is shipped in a protective tape.

The adhesive stayed on mine no matter what product I soaked it in. I also used the softest microfiber I have and it still made it foggy and scratched it. I know it’s a small complaint but I feel it takes away from the intake slightly.

All and all I love this product. If you go on their site can order there oil kit for 29. 99. It arrived in 3 days no extra charge.

Never installed a CAI before and it only took me an hour & a beer. The hardest part is taking out the factory OEM air filter. To save whoever is reading this a few minutes, the factory bottom mount bracket (after taking out support bolts on the engine bay side) just pops out.

I spent a few minutes looking around trying to figure out what was keeping it secured in the bottom before I just pulled it up on one side. The connection hose for the breather tube takes a bit of finagling to make sure it isn’t kinked – a bit of turning & mild coercion makes it seat without problems.

The OEM tubes with the push clips that have angled turning points would have been a lot easier to connect had it just allowed for it and I wouldn’t have needed the tubes they included. Another inconvenient thing was putting the gasket around the top see-through plastic piece.

That took the most time dealing with anything with the S&B CAI install outside of removing the OEM air intake. I’d you’re mechanically inclined and have already done a CAI swap, this would definitely only take half an hour depending on how long it takes you to to get the seal on the top piece.

What’s not to like about this cold air intake. The install was very easy and I had it on in about 40 mins. I took it for about a 20 mile test drive in city, highway, and I could instantly feel the difference in response and sound.

This really woke my Hemi up! I had previously swapped the muffler with a MBRP high flow, and deleted the rear resonators and replaced with Flowmaster pipe and Black tips. Combined with my exhaust upgrades, this COI really completes the package.

I pondered for months on which one to get, but kept coming back to this one. I went with the oiled filter and it is huge! I also love the clear cover so you can check the filter condition without removing a cover.

The inlet tube from the box to the throttle body is also considerably bigger. It all tucks in nicely under the hood. I am glad with my choice, and am happy with the performance. Now to keep an eye on my fuel usage and see if there is any mpg gain.

I am under no illusion that if I put my foot into it to enjoy the performance gain, but with gas prices approaching $5 a gallon, I’m going easy on the throttle to save $$. We’ll see how the mpg side of things plays out.

Got mine relatively quickly. The quality is superb used AFE products before and they have always been top quality. I love the fact they provide dyno sheets to provide hp and tq gains. Cannot confirm if I did gain 20 ft lbs of torque or 19hp as the company states since I have yet to take it to a dyno.

The butt dyno however says its got more power, the noise is definitely addicting. The trucks are speed density based, so they do not have a MAF. I went with the oiled option, gives you a bit more flow and filtration but extra step in maintenance when it comes time to cleaning with the reoiling, not a huge deal.

Well worth the upgrade!.

I was looking for a while to find a decent review on this intake. So here it is, sweet and simple. It will make your truck louder and cleaner. I have a Flowmaster Outlaw Direct Fit Muffler and it definitely made it much cleaner.

The sound volume increased just a tad bit but make sure you understand I already have a $400 exhaust modification done. So yours should be much louder. Anyway, the torque was definitely increased, and for those of you who are new to this.

that means pedal responsiveness. The gas mileage just a small difference but I also have bigger/more aggressive tires. All in all a great buy and I’d honestly recommend it 100%. No downsides, just gains.

17 March 2021 – finally installed this CAI tonight and I’m honestly impressed. Bought it for my 2013 Ford F150 3. 5 V6 Eco Boost. I watched some YouTube installation videos and it was rather fast to install (took me by myself just under 2 hours but it you have the tools ready beforehand it would be faster).

I’m in no way mechanically inclined at all and it was a breeze to do it myself. If the instructions are hard for you to read, AFE has a colorized PDF on their website. Bummer the lid doesn’t come with it as its sold as an accessory which I bought and I should have that delivered tomorrow.

My only concern was; with the factory box and intake installed, I get between 19. 2 – 22 MPG depending on whether and road conditions and I didn’t want to take a hit on my mpg due to driving roughly 76 miles a day to and from work.

My friends did recommend I disconnect the battery (isn’t stated in the instructions and not completely sure if it’s necessary) while installing this, which I did, to help the computer recognize the new airflow.

I drove for about 30 miles after installation and I got: no check engine light and towards the end of my drive, I hit 19. 2MPG. I have a feeling after my work week when this levels off I should be getting comparable, if not more in fuel economy.

I’ll post updates if anything changes but currently no issues and I’m very impressed with the new turbo whistles/sounds. Heads up, you may need to add a little oil to the O-ring on the sensor as it’s a very tight fit.

Also check AFE’s website as you currently can get his CAI for under $500.

New AFE Momentum GT intake is sleek and designed for maximum air flow. Now it has an excellent induction sound. Sounds like you are sucking in a roaring lion at full throttle. Took me around a half hour to install from start to finish.

The stock intake was so bulky and unnecessary. The Mass Airflow Sensor installed perfectly as well. Did a lot of research looking at many different styles of intakes and this one had the best look to me, others looked cheaply made and flimsy.

I’m very satisfied with this purchase.

I was looking for a quick way to add a little power and this was it. First off – I ordered on Sunday and it was delivered on Wednesday, can’t beat it. I decided I was going to install this myself – it took me about 2 hours but only because I have never worked on trucks before.

The install is pretty simply , the only part that sucks is everything under the hood is plastic so it is easy to crack the wire harnesses or the MAF sensor. I made one mistake where the instructions tell you to snap off the tie wrap holding the wire harness – I thought it meant to cut the FACTORY wraps ( which I did ) only to realize later I was supposed to pull it out of the factory intake , not cut it.

So my harness is currently tie wrapped to the new intake but I don’t see it being a huge issue. As far as performance- I definitely notice a difference. It gives my truck a great sound especially when you find that sweet spot in your RPMs.

Definitely notice a difference with throttle response as well. I would recommend this if you are looking for a simple mod to give you a little more power.

Okay let me start this off by saying I do like what I have received. It sounds great when you open the throttle up. There are small things that I am not extremely satisfied with. The cold air intake box does not Mount to anything.

Did not come with any type of foam or anything to give it a good Tight Seal connecting to the hole in the firewall. The see-through plexiglass on top of the closed box bows in the middle and the holes don’t exactly line up or the plexiglass was not drilled properly.

I wish it did come with the foam or rubber gasket to give it a proper seal around the firewall and either a third screw to go in the middle between the two screws so that it doesn’t bow. Other than that it’s a great product all the parts were there and a simple install.

For the $500. 00+ spent on this bolt on mod I really did expect a little bit more as far as quality goes. This is the reason why I give it a four out of five star.

I considered several CAI options to improve air flow, and hear more engine sound. The Corsa Power Core definitely checks both of these boxes. I chose this design because it mounts to factory lower box for easy install, and the square design allows for more mounting options of the new Pulsar ECU.

I added these on the same day and the performance difference and sound is dramatically different under throttle. I Highly recommend both upgrades. Next is the Borla S Exhaust system, because it’s time to unleash that 6.

2L beast!.

Bought this corsa CAI for my 5. 3L 2018 silverado. first off the box said corsa. the intake tube, filter, and plexiglass cover said volant. I would have just spent 50$ less if I knew I were getting a volant.

also the silicone sleeve that attaches to the intake tube and MAF sensor should have been a reducer coupling it was not. it was a tight fit over the intake tube thought I would have to buy a different piece.

Also it didnt include the CARB decal as I am in CALI and have strict emission laws. Would not buy again. does not include hose clamps either for the intake hoses.

Pretty much an easy install with minimal grunts. The only thing I word give a heads up on is that the wiring on your throttle body pigtail my be short when reconnecting to the sensor. I had to make sure the tubing to the throttle body was pushed as far as I could without impeding the flex of the rubber connector.

Also, there was no code issues when I started it or drive it around. Lastly make sure your plastic pins are lined up when reinstalling the air box, you might just want to swap out the factory grommets with the ones in your new box.

Fits as advertised. Very easy install. Eliminates that HUGE resonator/de-resonator box and lets a guy actually see his motor. Don’t buy this for performance gains. They’re non-existent. She’ll make more noise from under the hood, but who doesn’t like that??!! Only regret is, I probably should have saved a few bucks and purchased the AirRaid intake tube instead.

With that component, you keep your original air box – and in my case, the K&N Filter I installed to replace the stock air filter. And I think the net result would have been the same.

Kit came as described, seems to be quality, will see how it holds up. That said the fitment of the new upper box to the stock lower left a lot to be desired. For the price point of this intake I would have expected it to fit better.

Something you wouldn’t see until you’ve already got the entire thing assembled. That said I do not think it will affect performance.

Easy to install, perfect fit, great sound. You don’t need any special tools or training to get the job done. The instructions are straight forward. Highly recommend this product

Improved airflow and throttle response not as loud as some say. Huge gains in MPG over stock gotten at least 4-7 better with the 5. 0L. original mpg 13. 5-14 up to 18. 5-19 in the city now and original 14-16 now 20-25 on highway.

Makes any after market exhaust sound deeper. I have the (Holley) hooker blackheart duel exit cat back exhaust and it sounds amazing. Took 15min to install. Fitment of the engine air hose is tight none the less I added a small rubber line to ease the bend pressure may not be like that for everyone but loaded fx4 was a small difference compared to 4×4 in video and I highly recommend buying a small (1/4) clamp for the other hose so it doesn’t pop off wish they included one.

But overall it was a great purchase. Solid construction seems to be a well built CAI being a form of K&N product for a much more reasonable and affordable price.

This is my 6 month review. Super easy top install. Took longer to remove the stock intake. Everything went together smoothly and fit nice and tight. No issues with fit at all. Finish is excellent, again very impressed, especially at this price point.

My only issue was that, at first, the filter kept falling off the pipe where it connects in the intake box. It was a design flaw where the inner ring was not angled correct and was completely smooth, so it had no way to keep the filter from slipping off when tightened.

After I received the new part which the inner ring was “machined”, it has worked flawless. As for the sound, the suction of air is very noticeable in a good way. My stock exhaust did seem to growl more after after the install too.

I have since added an after market exhaust (MBRP before the wheel side exhaust, black) which I love. Performance gains? Who knows? It’s basically seat of the pants feel, but She seems to be able to break them loose very easy now.

I would guess I have ab added 10-15 HP, but I did not dyno or anything, but my throttle response seems different. I would recommend this product, and hopefully , no one gets the kits with the smooth coupler.

I have installed other similar intakes on other vehicles and this one works as well but did not install as easily as it should have. The angle of the tube was not exactly right but it’s close enough and I got it sealed.

The bigger issue for me was that the hole for the MAFS (mass air fuel sensor) was upside down. The only way the holes on the sensor matched with those on the tube was if the sensor was placed in upside down.

I installed it the only way I could but when I tried to start the truck, it wouldn’t stay running. It was dark so I left it for the next day but after going in the house I suspected my problem had to do with the direction of the sensor.

I researched online then pulled it out the next morning. That’s when I realized I could not put the sensor in the correct way because the mounting holes didn’t match. I ended up grinding down one side of the hole until I got the bolts to line up properly.

After that the truck started right up. Check this out before going too far because even the auto parts store people said that the sensor direction didn’t matter. Performance improvements were noticed immediately once I got it working.

This CAI appeared as if it were fabricated by a 7-year old with a Toys R Us play toolkit. There were up to a quarter-inch gaps all round the circumference of the factory air duct inlet to the bottom leading edge of the airbox, badly misaligned filter adapter fastener fitting (drilled) holes, and the air filter itself had to be essentially bent / compressed to fit the adapter to the primary box outlet to intake air inlet tube when placed inside he airbox as a prescribed installation step.

I’ve been buying aftermarket bolt on parts for cars, pickups, and road racing as well as street motorcycles for almost 40 years. This as the absolute worst example of an aftermarket mod I’ve ever seen or heard about, anywhere, for any application.

Do not buy this unit, it is simply garbage. Fortunately, Nate at American Trucks took great care of the problem, getting me setup for a free return and full refund along with a customer goodwill discount on an AFE Magnu, Force Stage 2 XP.

Very nicely made air intake, simple install with very good instructions with pictures. Made in the USA which makes me very happy. Produces nice sound while accelerating and no doubt more hp. This with a super chips tune and Borla cat back made my regular cab Z71 4×4 get up and go!!.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time researching various CAI’s for my 2020 Silverado Custom Trail Boss. Corsa PowerCore does not disappoint. High quality build materials, great design, and a long reputation for performance components stood out and has made the TB into a beast.

Great throaty sound from sucking in that air into the massive air cleaner and while I have not validated with a dyno, it is got some giddy up and loves taking off and makes it feel like an actual 5. 3 should.

Gas mileage has decreased only because throttle responsiveness is so good, I’m always on it. Highly recommend to any new body Silverados out there. More to come.
