Awaken your C5 Corvette intake with the K&N 63-1050, unlocking up to 10 horsepower and enriched torque. This bold cold air system ousts the restrictive factory airbox, ushering in a stream of fresh air for a lively drive, with no tuning needed. Crafted for performance enthusiasts, it melds seamlessly into daily cruises or track sessions, featuring a sculpted polyethylene tube that enhances airflow and endurance, anchored by K&N’s storied reliability. Its aerodynamic flow reduces resistance, unleashing a thrilling surge that transforms your ride, captivating owners who seek a responsive, head-turning experience.
Fashioned with a custom polyethylene intake and a heat-blocking shield, the 63-1050 draws in cooler air, validated by intensive dyno tests across varied terrains like open highways and tight tracks. Its oversized oiled cotton filter captures 98% of particles, offering durability with maintenance every 100,000 miles—wash, dry, and re-oil—admired by drivers for consistent power on roads or racetracks. The sleek contour boosts the C5’s iconic design, sharpening throttle feel, while its robust construction withstands challenging climates.
Installation is straightforward, completed in under 90 minutes with basic tools, and supported by K&N’s million-mile warranty for lasting peace of mind. Owners revel in the deeper engine growl, crisper acceleration, and smoother power delivery, ideal for 1997-2004 C5 models. The kit includes detailed instructions and fittings, designed for easy reversal if needed, though it’s barred from California roads due to emissions laws—a key note for legal use in regulated states.
