Default Cold air Intake

Ok, I have a '16 Z06 with the M7 and a x-pipe. I'm debating purchasing a cold air intake for it or even just a different filter but I don't want to do a tune for warranty reasons. I'm looking for real world opinions from people who have either purchased an intake and are running them on a stock car and or from the people who just simply changed out the stock air filter to something else. Was it worth it? What did you see for improvements and or issues you didn't like about it. Thanks

Just presenting the option...our i3/T2 tuners do not lead to warranty issues. You can have custom tuning done through our device as well, and nothing it does will affect the things GM looks for to detect tunes.


Thanks

People have seen great results with the AFE intake and a tune on a z06.

Contact us for pricing on the AFE intakes!

Thanks everyone for the input but I am not interested in a tune. That's why I was wondering if it is even worth doing with out a tune.

I just put an afe on my '19 GS
I cant say if there is any noticeable difference in the butt dyno but at least I know I'm breathing better and much more volume
No issues with CEL and no plans to tune because of warranty
Running Borla x-pipe and Borla ATAK exhaust as well

Before my build I installed the BMS filter, Mamo TB and Borla X-Pipe all at once without a tune. With all three I noticed a difference. Since you do not want a tune I'd say the drop in BMS filter will fit your wants.
