Watched 3 of your very good an complete and easy to understand C5 videos today. Wished I could do all of what you explained. A little old to takle most of them.
Not required but it would be beneficial. The owner of the car says he had a tune done before the intake was installed. Hasn't had it tuned again yet but plans to.
My preference is for the better filtering of the factory systems, since I am not running a disposable race car, and that should be considered as one reads my comments below. the dyno test cited as " proof" probably was just the normal power gains that happen after the lubrication and car warmed up for the second pass, but no explanation as to the dyno test controls were mentioned beyond, "we try" (to be fair). without an actual air intake problem to be solved, I wouldn't spend the money, but live it up if you think the professional engineers with million dollar budgets, supercomputer time and extensive testing couldn't optimize the air intake, but did manage to design the LS motor it feeds. . to get the money back performance guarantee, requires a before and after dyno run, nothing else is accepted. like any other product with questionable claims, they can always say to the judge, but your honor, we offer a complete money back guarantee, just like every penis growth pill. I would expect with the investment of supercomputer time in the cars development, that would mean the air intake system was tuned for performance, as is commonly done with exhaust systems, because performance is efficiency, and bad fuel economy hurts sales and imposes taxes. . changing the air path obviously changes what the engine expects to receive from the air intake system.
Did you have to remove the hood lining to be able to close your hood? I just bought this for my C5 and watched another video where they had to remove the hood lining and I really don’t wanna have to do that.
Okay, but you'll never have a real Corvette or a girlfriend that loves you and all your friends will secretly laugh at you behind your back. It's in the product manual.
I just don't see any advantage over stock filter. Especially not for the price. Hardly a cold air intake, at idle or traffic it will suck in hot engine air same as stock. These air systems are a gimmick
@@EndlessMoneyPits factory is almost same CFM as the kits, same location. Venting hot air is better option in my opinion , only a fully enclosed airbox with external intake would add horsepower over standard system . These kits are purely cosmetic. Did you test on Dyno? I just can't justify the cost on these kits
@@EndlessMoneyPits my point is, manufacturer call them cold air systems, but they are not. It's using the same air intake position as stock ( well on my C4 anyway ) I understand on a track car or drag car but a non turbo daily driver, purely cosmetic Air flows the same , and you can add K&N filter to stock . I've seen these kits go for as much as $600
@@EndlessMoneyPits Your right, just lower the volume a bit. You have some awesome skills and go into a lot of detail, a lot of people can learn a lot from your videos.
@@EndlessMoneyPits All good, Just some positive criticism, Just watched all the C5 videos. You really do great work and document everything. Any more of those videos coming up, or are you done? Doing a radiator flush, or differential flush would be a cool video
The car will be here next week for a brake job and new trunk struts but we haven't talked about doing the coolant or diff yet. I'll put it on the list, thanks!

That's understandable. Things are sometimes more difficult than they look in these videos anyway.
Well done and keep up with your good work God Bless you.
get the calloway honker best set up on the market and looks stock
Great content!
Thank you!
Those washers you questioned were for an aftermarket front bumper cover (aka bra), they are not stock.
Finally, an answer, and it makes sense! Thank you.
Does this intake REQUIRE a tune? Or can I drop it in without one and be fine?

I think the owner of the car just enjoys modifying it.

No, I did not have to remove that. Haven't noticed any clearance issues.
Great thank you.
I’ll just keep the factory air box lol
Okay, but you'll never have a real Corvette or a girlfriend that loves you and all your friends will secretly laugh at you behind your back. It's in the product manual.
@@EndlessMoneyPits who cares
That was my point.
Do you have to do any kind of adjusting so that the mass air flow sensor doesn't through an error code?
Nope, I didn't have any issues with that.
I went with the corsa cold air intake. It's like having ram air. And you can feel the difference.
yeah i want to remove my bumper to do this?
It's actually very easy.
Better take care of them 10mm sockets lol
Does this fit the z06 c5?
The Z06 intake has a different part number (63-1050) but is the same price.
It’s a lot easier to just drill some holes than to remove the entire front bumper.
Removing the bumper on this car is extremely easy. Step away from the drill.
I just don't see any advantage over stock filter. Especially not for the price.

Why would you need cold air at idle or in traffic? Seems to work well with the vents we added to the front end at least.

It's not my car. I don't engineer for K&N. I just wanna know why we need cold air in traffic or at idle. Always trying to learn.

This car is used for autocross racing.
Really good video, but the music is horrible
Meh, it's free music provided by RUclips. Better than dead silence.
@@EndlessMoneyPits Your right, just lower the volume a bit. You have some awesome skills and go into a lot of detail, a lot of people can learn a lot from your videos.
Thank you, I'll work on the music.

Tons of debri in-between condenser and rad ..should of been cleaned
Yes, I noticed that too. I didn't clean it because the owner of the car was planning to replace the radiator shortly after filming this.
