So wondering if anybody here can help me identify the cold/ram air intake that my C5 has when I bought it. Not sure how long it’s been on the car or anything, it could be some random one from when the car was new in 02

Not sure of the make but, its a true cold air induction. Should work fine if the filter is a good one and doesn't pass excessive dirt and dust. What filter does it use?















What filter does it use?

Yeah its similar but doesn't saw Callaway anywhere on it and the coupler is different but looks to have a k&n style air filter. I may just end up replacing it at some point. One of its previous owners must've pulled up to a curb too close and cracked the intake box as its been fixed with JB Weld in its past lol

This really looks custom, the “ram-air” immediately gave it away that it could be from the 98-02 Firebird Trans Am / Camaro lid
