GM's new CAI for the C7 Z06 Corvette
#21
^^^ Interesting, 1st time I have seen that 25% increased flow published.
The aFe, low restriction system looks similar to the GM system. However the aFe filter is larger than OEM and the requires a larger housing. Their larger oiled cotton filter, which I have, has a flow increase of 42% over stock.
aFe also makes an oil free replaceable not cleanable filter, which I assume GM would use (for retained ongoing consumable sales!) which aFe says is less of a flow increase. They had published a comparison oiled versus paper, but hard to find that flow number now!

I was using the aFe for 2 1/2 year in my LT1 in my Z51 and now 8 months in my LT1 on my Grand Sport. Others have also reported using the product with no problem.
Expect if I lived in Denver might be close to the limits but the MAP has to be able to go from sea level to Denver etc!
Someone who removed the filter had a problem! The MAF sensor is close to the filter and it appears a filter is needed to avoid turbulence in that area giving poor air flow signals. Wonder if you created an issue after your install?

Fro what I have been reading the Injen intake for z06 and lt1. Come with a tuned maf so no require tuning
now sure if the Halltech and afe comes wit that but seems to me like the Injen is under rated

Injen's intake is nothing more than an inferior technology AFE rip-off. They were OK at filters on a stick for Civics, at best (even then, got beat by AEM).

where did you read that?

That would defiantly make you wonder if it comes with something. But I bet they are referring to when you tune the car to go into that section and change the parameters with a tuner. as the new air filter will give you a larger margin to play with vs a drop in, in the stock box. Id call and verify tho. Because the price seems a little on the less expensive side to have had that technology to be packaged with it.

A "tuned MAF section" means they sized the intake pipe correctly to not throw a check engine light or run overly rich/lean.

After several calls to my local Chevy parts department since April 9 this year ( That was the rumor I read P/N 84152141 would be available for purchase) only to have the parts guy tell me that could find that number in the computer system, but its not available to order. However today when I made my routine call anticipating I would get the same disappointing reply he said " How many do you want to order"? Just one please I said. He said no one had it locally and it may take a week or two to get. Heck I have been waiting for months, so not a concern for me. Plopped the visa on the counter, he filled out a special order form, 625.00 but with tax it was 683.00 I think. However, this is still not known if a remapping ecu of the MAF would be required or not, If this would void factory warranty or not, ( Could I install this myself or dealer install for keep warranty intact or not) or if so would be included with this price of the kit. He said there was no notes in the system about it and it look like it would be shipped from the GM vendor directly, perhaps their would be further instructions included in the box, if a coding would be necessary and the cost. So yes, I am indeed a idiot, buying without knowing what else may be involved, but I may be the first in Houston to have one. Of course I will post more news about it once it arrives, (if it ever does).

It is two weeks as of today that the part was ordered so should be here soon. The installing Tech said on the Camaros he had done the procedure was to install the CAI then call the Techline with vehicle info and they would send updates for the CAI calibration.
