If you're looking to give your C8 Corvette's GM LT2 engine a serious boost, swapping out the stock air intake for an aftermarket option is the way to go. More air means more fuel, and that translates to bigger combustion and better performance. But it’s not just about cramming air in; keeping that intake air cool is crucial, which is where a good air-box and ducts come into play, pulling in fresh air from outside the engine bay.
Enter the AFE Track Series carbon fiber cold air intake system. This setup offers an OEM-like fit and finish, but with some serious power gains. The Pro 5R filters are a game changer—they flow way more air than the stock filters. Thanks to their larger surface area and high-quality materials, you’re getting a noticeable uptick in performance.
One of the standout features is the carbon fiber intake tube. It does a great job of keeping heat from the engine at bay, which is a big deal compared to plastic or steel alternatives. Plus, AFE has designed a heat-resistant housing that ensures the system is pulling in only the coolest air from the intake ducts, not the hot stuff hanging out in the engine bay.
The dual 4" flange 360-degree radial flow air filters are where the magic happens. With AFE's pre-oiled Pro 5R media, which has five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze, you’re looking at some serious airflow. These filters are built for both street and track use, and their inverted tops give you more surface area, meaning you can go longer between service intervals. Not only do they boost airflow, but they also do a fantastic job of filtering out dust and debris, keeping your engine safe from wear and tear.
This isn’t just any tube; it’s a lightweight twill weave carbon fiber piece that channels the filtered air straight to the intake manifold. AFE’s tube is computer-designed and dyno-tested to maximize airflow while shedding unnecessary weight. Unlike some other brands that skimp with fiberglass, this is 100% carbon fiber, making it stronger and more durable than the OEM plastic components.
The dual air filters sit snugly in an open-element XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) polymer housing that’s designed to keep warm engine air out. It fits perfectly into the factory mounting spot and connects to the factory air inlets, ensuring you’re always getting the coolest air possible. Plus, the silicone couplings make for a smooth installation and allow for engine movement.
There’s a seal trim on the housing edge that connects to the plastic trunk cover, which helps keep the air filters shielded from unwanted warm air. This setup also gives your intake a more aggressive sound, without compromising performance.
AFE doesn’t cut corners here. You’re getting premium stainless steel clamps and flexible silicone couplings that ensure a secure and durable installation.
Just a heads up, this intake system isn’t CARB exempt, so it’s not legal for sale in California or for use on vehicles registered with the California DMV.
