I just put my order in for my new ZR1 and chose this option. Just wondering if it is worth it and does it mean the car is tuned from GM for it? I have until Tuesday to change my order but thinking what the hell I might as well try it..
As it's the only intake "available" for ZR1, I'd say go for it. It picks up roughly 15 whp based on youtube install videos and looks really nice. If you opt out, you can always get the box and fittings through these guys https://weaponxmotorsports.com/colle...lt5-air-intake

I have the GM intake and Weapon-X smooth intake pipe installed by dealer. I watched and it was a fairly easy install. The intake looks cool and GM says it gives the LT5 17 hp (flywheel hp I'd guess). Weapon X has a new carbon fiber intake coming very soon, I'd check that out before buying the GM.

My car was ordered before it was could be ordered from the factory so it was installed at dealer during PDI. Either way it gets GM warrantee. Chuck Mettes, Rick Conti’s “ metticulous” Corvette Tech, did say there was a little more involved with the installataion than first thought. Appears that great care has to be taken with hoses routed over the air box not to crack anything. At this point ordering from the factory is the way to go IMO.. aside from the performance gain, it looks really cool.

I have one on my car. Took Museum Delivery and they put it on for me during their prep. Definitely go for it!
Mine is ordered with the NCM install, also. Most added HP can get expensive but this mod is really a cheap way to boost a few more HP. Looking forward to it.
GM is having a black Friday sale with 25% off on performance parts, apparently including the GM CAI, which would drop the price to $487.50. It's only good for Nov 23 to Nov 26 from what I've read. I think the link is accessories.chevrolet.com .

It's my understanding that the tune is the same regardless if you purchase the intake or not.
