2025+ Chevrolet Corvette C8 ZR1 / 2026+ ZR1X Fabspeed High-Flow Carbon Fiber Intake Pipes
Upgrade the restrictive factory intake tubing on the C8 ZR1 and ZR1X with the Fabspeed High-Flow Carbon Fiber Intake Pipes. Designed as left- and right-side replacements for the factory ABS plastic tubes, these carbon fiber inlet pipes are engineered to improve airflow to the twin-turbo LT7 while adding a significantly more premium appearance to the engine bay.

Improved Airflow Over Factory Tubing
The factory GM intake tubes are manufactured from ABS plastic and feature several compressed or narrowed sections required for packaging clearance. Fabspeed states these areas reduce the tubes' maximum airflow capability.
Their replacement carbon fiber pipes are shaped to provide a less restrictive intake path and improve airflow into the ZR1's twin-turbo system.
3D Laser Scanned & CAD Developed
Fabspeed used 3D laser scanning and CAD development to create intake pipes that maximize the available space while maintaining proper fitment within the C8 engine compartment.
The resulting geometry is designed specifically around the airflow requirements and packaging of both the ZR1 and ZR1X.
Carbon Fiber Construction
Replacing the factory black plastic tubing with carbon fiber dramatically changes the appearance of the LT7 engine bay while also providing a more performance-focused intake path.
The left and right pipes complement other carbon fiber engine-bay upgrades and pair particularly well with Fabspeed's blue 5-ply silicone induction hoses.
Enhanced Intake & Turbo Sound
The higher-flow intake path is also designed to let more of the ZR1's induction and turbo character come through, adding a more pronounced performance-car sound without requiring a complete intake-system replacement.
Direct Bolt-On Installation
The intake pipes are designed as a straightforward bolt-on replacement for the factory left and right intake tubes. Fabspeed specifically describes installation as DIY-friendly.
Factory Systems Compatibility
Fabspeed states these intake pipes are designed without affecting the vehicle's factory GM warranty or emissions systems. Actual warranty coverage ultimately remains subject to GM's applicable warranty terms and the specific circumstances of any warranty claim.
