It's about time they released something! They were late to drop-in party too.

After the wait, I can't say I'm that impressed with the design or visual appearance. I do not like how you have to modify the coolant lines, piece together adapters, or cut the weather stripping to fit their heatshield (you'd think they could at least pre-install that before boxing/shipping?). I'm sure it sounds great being an open-element design, it will definitely be louder than the AFE intake. I think this will be the cheapest entry into an aftermarket intake for the C7; I'm sure vendors will be able to get them down to around $375 in short order.

I remember seeing the test of the K&N filter for the stock system that they showed making around the same gain of this complete system on a stock 2014 Z51.

Don't their stock numbers look low (365 hp)? Most reports I've seen show between 400 - 410 stock.

It looks accurate to me. You're looking at the peak GAINS vs. the peak power. Their dyno shows the stock C7 put down a hair over 400whp stock, and 410ish with the intake. The gains on the torque curve are more impressive than the horsepower.
