C8 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter! Easy AND Cheap HORSEPOWER!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

The Attack Blue air filter that I helped test is now available for the C8 Corvette. I love the benefits it brings, what do you guys think of it? Grab one for your C8 here: @t 👍👍

[@gotime1236]

EXCELLENT Video man👍

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

I ran a K&N on my 400HP 380TQ Mk7 GOLF R. LOVED EM

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

Did it make a difference in engine tone?

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

Justin, brother, can you dyno your ride and give us a good estimate of what a air filter & catback will give me when I buy my C8? I always: 1 lower 2 tune (FI) & HF intake w/K&N 3 exhaust w/HF cats (AWE Switchpath turboback & Vibrant resonators to kill drone 4 add my 12" Polk Audio Pro series subs with 1000 watt amp & bass knob Had above on my 15 MK7 GOLF R manual. Unitronic tuned, Shift kit, stage 2 clutch pack/pressure plate . Slammed BC coilovers strut braces F/R. Had to sell sadly, blew my ankle out no more clutch. My R reviewed kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKiUnGOibdNghJY Now 16 ATSV SEDAN Crystal Satin White 1 of 100 factory (96 is mine] fully loaded, 80k new, mag ride & electronic diff are amazing! Those are must have components on the Vette, hands down. Tuned to 550 HP/TQ without mods, just software. Decided not to go further as its getting traded in on a Z06 or E-Ray. My car reviewed same guy. He wouldnt rematch even tho my tires were bald from just returning from ThunderHill raceway the day before. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIGse3qjos-ae6s

[@jamesh1641]

This was helpful when I just did mine. Word to the wise - put a towel down before you remove the air box. You lose a bolt into that abyss it’ll ruin your day and week.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Good tip!

[@stevegreer1963]

Oh, the good old days when you could replace an air filter by removing one single wing nut.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Right? Man... Those were the days...

[@DeathByLego]

Until you drop it in your carburetor and you’re fucked. Which I haven’t done yet thankfully.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

🤣🤣🤣 something tells me it's gonna happen now... 😑

[@DeathByLego]

@@HorsePowerObsessed let’s hope not 😅😅

[@josephdixon507]

Got mine today Justin and thanks! Seems as tho throttle response is better and the seat of the pants feeling is great. What I immediately noticed is the burbles letting off the exhaust. I mean the burbles have really increased. When you let off the accelerator OMG it sounds amazing! To have this as a permanent filter is great. I too also had some dried up leaves inside, about the same amount as you. I did a quick vac to clean things up and had to wonder if this was pre-screen entry or afterward. Now to get the engine light harness installed. Thanks again!

[@Motleymick]

It adds a slight whistle sound too. I've had one on my car for 3 months. I'm waiting for the AFE Track series Carbon fiber cold air intake system w/pro 5r filters.

[@preston3698]

AFe is the best imo👍

[@superameric8]

That sounds like something I would like.

[@josephdixon507]

Just ordered mine Justin..... I’ve always ran an aftermarket CAI by Cold Air Inductions on my SS’s and you got the complete air box which looked great under the hood. We’ll see how this does and if allowing better air flow and upping the ponies a smidge, it’s a plus. Next to review that harness for the lights. In the mailer too long. Great content as always!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you! You'll love the filter, easy to install and peace of mind afterwards!

[@brianportner7581]

Joseph, how did the air filter do in your car?

[@josephdixon507]

@@brianportner7581 it’s bad ass! Makes the car have a whole new level of sound, deeper for sure . Also more gurgles and pops. It’s amazing, especially with my LPE by Corsa exhaust.

C8 sounds badass 😎

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks! The AWE exhaust is one of the best sounding exhausts out there for the C8 in my opinion.

[@rvdano]

If a person is concerned about warranty and the affects they really should get with the tech and/or service manager and question them. If the tech is anti aftermarket stuff they will red flag the vehicle, a service manager can override the red flag if he's a fan of aftermarket stuff. If a person is concerned with the responses from the dealership, the safest way around this would be to put the stock filter back in before going into the dealership. If a person doesn't care then it's open season. Been there dealt with this stuff since 1968, my current Dmax diesel is fully deleted my dealer knows this and will do warranty work on everything except for the drive train.

[@stephenr115]

Nice! Bought one! Not installed. Bring tools to Carlisle

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Sweet!

[@Blueroyalty]

So you get the same boost as the with the performance exhaust...essentially giving 20+hp over stock?!!! Sold! Have you done or noticed any faster 0-60 launches?

[@babeadams9351]

How much are they. Never mind I just looked it up about a 130.00 bucks for my LS3

[@pk610]

HI Justin. Great video as always. Can you tell the Attack Blue team to rotate the emblem on the air filter unit so when installed, the "Attack Blue" lettering is right side up. It's upside down after you installed it and just looks odd.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

lol believe it or not, that has been fixed since they sent me this. This was one of the first ones to be made but that was corrected right after mine.

[@pk610]

[@djprettyrickey2858]

I looked part up on Amazon. Its stating it will not fit a 2020 C8 LT3 z51 package. Will it ?😊

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes it will. The link in the description is directly from my site and it's the same car I installed this filter on in the video. You are good to go!

[@45auto82]

Just a lot of work to get to the air filter. I still want a C8 tho....I’ll just pay to have it worked on.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It's actually easier to change this out than it is on the C7 (Z06/ZR1) in my opinion. My ZR1 is a real bear to change the air filter on because of all the stuff that has to come off first.

[@markcarpenter9292]

Hey Justin thanks for the info on this filter. Just ordered and replaced my air filter with the attack blue and now my fan comes on immediately when I start the car (it usually would come on after driving awhile on a hot day). Is there a reset somewhere or is this just a coincidence. FYI- I did not unplug anything during install. Thanks

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

That’s just a coincidence. You’re probably driving the car harder lol

[@ibmapple770]

Corsa intake comes out today!!!!!!!!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I haven't seen real great results on the intakes so far. Hopefully that changes.

[@wazzman8760]

Hi Justin, is the sound increase noticeably louder in the cabin. Thanks

[@wazzman8760]

Hi Justin, is it as as effective at filtering as the factory paper filter. Thanks

[@JamesAtkinsTv]

Million-dollar question here, does it void the warranty??

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

No. Not unless the filter itself caused some sort of failure.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

Does the air filter come with a C8 or is that sold separately? I'm a little short on C8's currently.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I'm pretty sure it's sold separately, but I can ask the manufacturer! 😁

[@derekwebster1755]

Could you please address whether or not changing to this filter will void the warranty on the car? I am about 90% Rick Conti stated that not using AC delco filters will void warranty.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Absolutely not. An air filter/air intake will never void your warranty.

It definitely will not void warranty, install on the convertible should be the same.

[@howie32768]

Does it need an aftermarket axhaust for the filter to be effective with hp/tourqe gains?

No it does not

[@rvdano]

FYI any aftermarket airfilter can and will void your warranty if there's any signs of damage related to the air intake, trust me 👍

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Correct. If it can be linked to a problem the filter caused then yes. Otherwise, no it won't.

are they willing to guarantee that 12 horsepower increase?

I tested it in previous videos and got a consistent 10 - 12 HP increase. Check out the videos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rInEZ5V7mLWHsJo and here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3WkY5d-gLusbJo

I don't think it is truly a "forever" air filter...I recall reading...it is recommended to change out after 50K miles. Never the less...I bought in to all the hype and got one...I just haven't got around to installing it.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I haven't seen that recommendation. Do you remember where you saw that? Assuming it is true, it's still going to last longer than the stock filter which is recommended to be changed every year.

Your AWE Track Exhaust sounds great. Just asked you 6/1/2022 or was it 5/31/2022 which AWE Exhaust would you recommend? The Track you said might be a “Highway Drone” situation and therefore thought the Tour Exhaust would be a better recommendation. Really tough decision after hearing that Cold Start. Thanks for the advice, if I feel up to it health wise, I would like to make it to Carlisle this year!

A paper Filter is always better for the engine in long term, when replaced as needed. The Mass air flow sensor will clog up ,at some point, and give false information, reducing the power
