The C8 Carbon Fiber Air Intake Arrives

In February 2020 as the pandemic was taking hold CORSA Performance began full scale development on the C8 Corvette. Having learned numerous lessons over the past 5 years, CORSA was committed to launching a complete suite of performance product in the first full year of C8 production. The launch would turn out to be the most ambitious product launch in the history of CORSA Performance spanning all areas of product development, exhaustheadersair intakehi-flow catsheat protection, and more. The C8 carbon fiber air intake, launching in June, is the culmination of that effort.

No stone/feature was left unturned in the development of the C8 carbon fiber intake. Taking nearly 18 months to go from development to production the intake leans on the past 9 years of intake development and is both the apex of CORSA intake development to date and the genesis of what's to come from CORSA Performance air intake development.

After 18 months of development the CORSA Performance carbon fiber air intake wreaks of style with design language pulled subtly from the C8. The intake form itself is of the highest carbon fiber quality and is an unmatched combination of performance and aesthetics. Every part of the intake that could be made from carbon fiber has been, air duct, box, lid and flanges are all made from 100% carbon fiber construction.

Heat was a concern that was not taken lightly while designing the C8 intake. After testing, engineering designed an aluminum heat shield to separate the intake from the elevated temperatures generated from the C8 mid-engine design. The heat shield works by shielding direct heat, but also creates and air pocket between the aluminum shield and carbon structure to allow for cooling. Simultaneously, the aluminum heatshield acts as a cable management system, ensuring all critical wiring components remain routed in their proper location.

Performance filtration was a must for the C8 Corvette and the twin filters themselves have been designed specifically for the C8. Featuring CORSA's DryTech 3D filtration media with reverse cone technology, the new filter design allows CORSA to provide a free flowing high performance filter that requires very little maintenance and extends maintenance intervals up to 50K miles depending on driving conditions.

New for the C8, the reverse cone filtration design, provides maximum airflow while providing additional filtration media. This unique enhances performance while lengthening maintenance intervals.

Finally the hardware itself was re-evaluated to ensure the best possible install and ownership experience. Matte black screw hardware with black washers were employed on the lid to provide unparalleled aesthetics. T-bolt clamps are used on the side Air Duct Flanges to ensure a secure fit that will not loosen over time. The silicone connections provided are of the highest quality and feature several layers of woven silicone that will ensure against heat degradation.

More Air for the C8 Corvette

CORSA C8 Intake is the latest in a family of Carbon Fiber Intakes. It's no secret, but at CORSA Performance we've been deeply invested in the Corvette marketplace for nearly 20 years. There is likely no other vehicle more synonymous with the CORSA Performance brand than the Corvette. From the C4 to the C8 we've made it our mission to build the best exhaust products we possibly could for these iconic vehicles.

As the brand has grown and we've expanded our product offering for the Corvette community that same passion for delivering the best exhaust products has naturally bled over into our Corvette air intakes. To that end, there was a reason that our first full scale air intake launch was centered around the C6 Corvette Carbon Fiber Air Intake in 2013. Featuring 100% Carbon Fiber construction, a machined aluminum mass airflow mounting bracket and an enormous DryTech air filter, the C6 Carbon Fiber Air Intake was both an engineering feat and a work of art. The Intake performance matched the styling (+21HP and +30 Lbs Ft TQ) and the package quickly became a favorite in the C6 Corvette community.
