Air Intake/filter
I copied this pic from a KnN ad and as a new owner, was wondering..... Where is the C8 getting intake "air" from if the filter is behind the engine in the back of the car? Are the side vents of the car a "ram air" system? Where is the air feeding from?

Air is drawn in from the same ducts that feed the factory airbox, which are fed by the side scoops behind the doors. K&N just removes the box altogether and seals up that entire cavity making it effectively a larger volume airbox. If you go with the K&N, take the opportunity to enlarge the ducts similar to how I recommend for anyone adding the aFe intake systems: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1604857468
