Default C7 Z06 Engine Air Filter Replacement Recommendation

Any recommendations on an engine air filter replacement or is an OEM filter the best choice?

I'm still using the OEM filter. Texas is pretty dusty depending on where you are driving and how hard the wind is blowing. I'm more concerned about my cylinder bores than I am about the 7 horsepower. I considered the Attack Blue. They have published some filtration comparison tests, but not against the stock filter. I've asked for that data a few times and have received no reply. I figure that there's a reason for that.

I put in the GM performance intake 84689752
Very happy with it.
I get a slight supercharger whine which I like.

Yes, this is the one to get and it won't void any warranty you may have. You'll gain 11 HP on a Zo6 over stock.

Being a cheapskate, I'm not sure that I can stand $500+, on sale, for 11 HP. Although it does look better, too.

Pretty sure that's discontinued and no longer available. Seems like many have neglected to pull it from their website.

Nice unit though and I like that it was available directly from GM.

Burger Motorsports offers larger higher flow replacement air filter elements for both the stock Z06 intake and the GM Performance “Jake Box” Intake.

Plenty of performance dyno test results on the Burger website.

I run the Burger AF in the GM Performance “Jake Box” Intake on my ‘19 Z06. Per Burger thats approx. 20hp over the more restrictive standard GM Jake Box filter element or approx. 31hp total over the stock Z06 intake and filter.

With a good tune there’s even more output available.

I ordered this for my car a few months ago, unless its only recently been discontinued it was still available for me to purchase.

Did you receive it? Where did you order from?

I enquired at a few online Chevy parts sites. All responded that it's been discontinued and there's no stock in the Chevy dealer network.

I bought it from ACS. I just looked at their website and it does say Sold Out. I had also previously purchased it from a GM dealer for my other Z06 two years prior.
