Carbon Fiber Plenum
I would like to replace my plenum on my C7 z51 with a carbon fiber plenum ( not a cover ). Does anyone have any recommendations based on personal experience? I have heard that some are subject to cracking and would like one that has not had this issue.

I have the APR piece that I purchased from RPI Designs. I've had it for over a year with no problems and am very pleased.

That engine bay looks really good! Love the yellow. So, your plenum is not a cover but a replacement plenum? Was it hard to remove/replace? Or dealer install? Thanks.

This is a replacement of the factory cover, not a piece that goes over the top of it, and the piece I have is not dipped hydrocarbon. It is a real deal carbon fiber replacement piece.
It is 4 bolts to replace. Biggest issue i had was breaking a wiring connector because there was not enough slack in the wires. There are a couple wiring harnesses that you have to move out of the way, and I didn't disconnect a sensor that i should have before moving the harness.
Hope this helps.
