Yes, hope to see improvement at the dragstrip but must be on a day with close to similar conditions and DA to see what kind of improvement. I had the Prototype 3D printed one on for about 6-8 weeks earlier and did not have a chance to run it at the strip for a comparison but it did have a nice intake sound when jumping on it.
Prototype installed below. Production system can be seen on the aFe web page.

Thanks for the picture. Looks to fit in there pretty nicely. I'm guessing their dyno gains (when/if they post them) will be based on your car's results?

All I know is what it did Stock and was told it made about 10HP more Stock then the other Stock C8 they have tested in the past in fact mine Stock was the highest Horse Power one they tested.

Can't argue that, gotta love the factory freak
Looking forward to hearing the gains and how they stack up vs. a drop-in! I'm personally torn right now between just doing a drop-in filter or a full system.

Was told they sold out and are on back order for the OEM style Replacement performance filters at this time. Just posted pic of the production system installed.
