C6 Corvette Attack Blue High Flow Air Filter

January 27th, 2010

2006 and up C6 Corvette owners can now install a high performance air filter without swapping out their factory Corvette intake. The new low restriction, washable, O.E. replacement C6 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter fits LS3, LS7, & LS9 equipped Corvettes. Zero modifications are required to install the air filter as it is simply a high performance replacement for the stock air filter.

The Attack Blue air filter is an excellent alternative to aftermarket C6 Corvette Air Intake Systems because it will not void your Corvette’s warranty. Its patent pending low restrictive open design and narrow back, allows the greatest amount of air to rush through the air filter with the least amount of turbulence over any O.E. replacement filter on the market! More free flowing air results in quicker throttle response, more torque & power to your Corvette’s rear wheels. Stock Corvette air filters can clog over a short period of time, resulting in a loss of power. The cotton media used in the C6 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter helps keep your Corvette breathing freely. Fits C6, Z06, Grand Sport & ZR1 Corvettes.

C6 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter Quick Facts:

  • Flows 45% more air than stock air filter
  • Narrow back design helps eliminate “power robbing” turbulence
  • Quicker throttle response plus an increase in torque & horsepower
  • Filtrates down to 5 microns (a human hair is 50 microns!)
  • Washable and reusable for extended use
  • Reinforced base prevents warping and leaks
  • Sturdy stainless mesh designed for high CFM.
  • Direct fit in your stock GM intake
  • Made in the USA!

C6 Corvette Mamba Air Intake

August 10th, 2009

With 3 years in development Zip Products is pleased to introduce the Mamba Air Intake System for C6 Corvettes. The Mamba is made from 100% Carbon Fiber and is cured in an autoclave to insure the strongest and most durable part available. The same materials and method are used in manufacturing heavy duty carbon parts on Daytona Prototype bodies, Indycar chassis, and NASCAR brake ducts. You will not find a nicer 100% Carbon Fiber Corvette Air Intake System.

C6 Corvette Mamba Air Intake

The Mamba Corvette Air Intake takes advantage of it’s design by squeezing as much air as possible into the throttle body without the use of a Corvette Supercharger. The Mamba’s air filter is one of the largest in the Corvette aftermarket industry and was custom designed by Zip for maximum airflow. The Mamba has shown dyno proven power improvements of 20+ rear wheel horsepower when utilized with the Mamba Fresh Air Scoop. The Mamba Air Intake is a direct bolt on for all C6 Z06 Corvettes and 2008-2009 LS3 equipped Corvettes. If used in conjunction with the fresh air scoop, PCM programing will be required on 2008-2009 LS3 equipped Corvettes due to the increased amount of air flow.

Early C6 LS2 equipped Corvette owners can retrofit the Mamba Air Intake by using our mass air flow sensor adapter harness, mass air flow sensor, and power coupler. Due to the large amount of forced air, LS2 Corvettes will also require custom PCM programming of the mass air flow table.

Corvette Museum HPDE At VIR

July 6th, 2009

Virginia International Raceway was packed with Corvettes from all over this past Monday and Tuesday. Dominated by the amazing Z06, there were also plenty of other awesome performers including the new 2010 Grandsport Corvette. The 2 day event consisted of driving classes and open track time for any Corvette owner. If you missed the 2009 Corvette Museum HPDE at VIR you truly missed two great days of performance driving.

Our new 2-piece Corvette rotors were on Steve Landstra’s Corvette for an on-track test. Check out the video below for a lap around VIR with the rotors installed. With speeds approaching 170 mph, Steve really pushed the brakes to the limit and proved that they performed excellent and stood up to heavy track duty. You can buy the same exact rotors for your Corvette in our online store.
