I don't see a sound tube in the pictures. Looks like a delete is your only option
The logo being at an angle instead of straight with the car looks absolutely terribleble to me. PASS

The 20HP claim is very misleading.
1. From the dyno chart they provided, there is NO gain in max power. 2. Gain is shown below 5k rpm, but NO gain above 5k rpm. If the stock airbox was a restriction, I'd expect a less restrictive aftermarket unit to have the biggest benefit at higher engine speeds and air flows. |

I've put CAIs on the last 5 cars I've owned but based on what I've seen written here and other places the 6 gen Camaro air box design is pretty darn good to start with. Right now I'm thinking a high flow filter may be my upgrade this time around.

Even that is debatable. When I had my Coyote Mustangs a very reputable shop did back to back to back testing and even repeated it over a few days with the stock paper Motorcraft filter, K&N, AFE and some other one I can't recall. They were all within 1 or 2 rwhp, but the K&N was the worst, and the others were all nearly the same. I think the highest pull was the stock Motorcraft. So in many cases a clean OEM filter is the best bet. Only exception may be if AFE makes a larger surface drop in like they now do for the S197 Mustangs that is like a panel, with a small cone on the bottom.
