K&N C6/ZR1 Corvette Air Intake System 2009-2013 Carbon
Fiber
When you have a production vehicle that is made with copious
amounts of carbon fiber, wouldn’t you want to keep it going
elsewhere? That’s exactly what K&N filters thought when they
produced their ZR1 Corvette (and soon the ZL1 Camaro) air intake
system.
“This intake was designed, developed, engineered and produced
from our K&N facility in southern California,” said Bert Heck
of K&N. “Not many intake companies can say that when it comes
to producing a carbon fiber intake.”
It’s is a very involved process when it comes to making a
carbon fiber intake. The “wet” carbon fiber is hand molded
around a mold, placed in a vacuum bag and then that mold is removed
from the inside of the intake tube once the carbon fiber has cured.
This ensures that the intake is truly made from 100% carbon fiber.
“We originally built this intake for the owner of K&N’s ZR1
Corvette, but then we decided to turn this into a production
piece,” said Heck.
So it looks pretty, but does it perform? K&N told us that
they picked up 25-26rwhp on an otherwise stock ZL1. The intake is
100% bolt-on, utilizing the factory cold air induction and can be
installed in less than one hour.
