Today, we’ve started test-fitment for our custom-fabricated C6 Corvette Intake.
Let’s start off with saying that this design might not necessarily be the final product yet. Obviously, as fitment continues, issues may arise or better ideas may get tossed around, so this might not be the final design. Or it might. We’re the masters of suspense, you know.
Either way, this Corvette intake is looking to improve seriously upon the design from other companies. The way most aftermarket C6 intakes route the airflow is a bit constricting and doesn’t pull in the best air from the best possible location. Ours, though, will definitely improve upon overall airflow dynamics and attempt to grab the coldest air possible from the front of the car (without, you know, being half an inch off the ground). For now, though, it’s tacked together in several sections awaiting more fitment and potential redesigns. Here’s a shot of the portion of the airboxes that contain the filters:
And here’s the incomplete top version. It’ll connect to the MAF housing via its OEM flange, which will then head to the intake manifold:
Here are the sides that we’re also tacking together currently. These will go to the airbox from underneath the car:
And finally, a quick shot taken earlier than the rest, showing the early stages of fitment in its appropriate spot:
In personal news, I am putting my summer tires back on today, and I am fucking STOKED.
