Default C8 Cold air intake

I was advised by Lamb Chev in Prescott that the C8 computer will not recognize any change with a Cold Air intake. Has anyone heard any different? Appreciated.

AFE, K&N, and Halltech have already successfully designed full replacement intake systems. There are multiple drop-in high-flow air filters available as well, including AttackBlue, AFE, K&N, and Green that utilize the factory airbox.

Eagerly awaiting feedback on THAT ONE!
That is the one I am interested in for Spring install, depending on reviews.

Any love for the corsa c8 intake? From my understanding the C8 computer has a wideband functionality which allows it to compensate for a greater range of air volume parameters than a normal ecu. Hence why all these intakes don't need a tune to work. You'll get similar horsepower gains as an aftermarket exhaust without the more complicated installation and you get more intake noise. Only wish the intake can be seen 😆

I have the AFe carbon intake and it looks and sounds good.
