what aftermarket CAI are you guys running ?

Mobil 1

Pretty sure its a waste of money.
Nothing to be gained. Just like headers or a tune. If you want more HP go super or turbo charged.

Not true. Picked up both hp and torque with an aFe CAI on the Stingray. Did before and after dyno pulls. There is a thread in the tech section with all the numbers. They weren't a hoot on the C6. On the C7 there are small gains to be had w/o a tune. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-install.html

Might be small gains but I'm not finding the $500 to be worth those sized gains.


BUT.... I'm the person that goes butt nuts crazy when I get the mod mode going and go for SC or Turbos to get a little HP gain!

Heck, the sound enhancement was worth it.

AFE---no issues, sounds great. I did add Cat delete Borla X pipe also and do have better throttle response.

Grabbed a slightly used AFE but was not a fan of the design or install so grabbed a Haltech system, I have had one in my last 3 vettes. For those that have never had one , you will not understand . I am a fan of both the percieved increase on throttle response and the beast under the hood.

Not a waste of money-I've got a Halltech intake.

C7s

I'm looking into Billy Boat or Injen but can't find many that have installed them. Anyone?

AFE for 2 years on my Z. On the Z a CAI makes a huge difference.
And no issues.

Yea the supercharger really benefits from a cai. I felt a really nice improvement on my cts-v

DickieDoo

I just wonder how much of the improvements were due to the less restrictive filter and what was the result of the CAI itself. The less restrictive filter obviously doesn't filter as well as the OEM element.

I would go with the filter first. Ordered an AIRAID...

I had an aFe prior to adding the supercharger.

....an Afe as well; had CAI's (mostly K&N) on most of my Vettes in years past. My mechanic (and many of you) are right, claims of 15 hp may be legit but they are up in the rev range and on a 455 hp car, 15 hp ain't gonna do a whole lot BUT I have found it rev's more freely and sounds alittle nicer and since I can't afford and won't do things like headers, superchargers it's the one upgrade I can do that's simple, relatively cheap and helps alittle....maybe someday I can scrounge up the currency to do an exhaust but even that is abit spendy for my situation.....
