97-04 Corvette 5.7L Air Filter

The 97-04 Corvette 5.7L Air Filter from K AND N ENGINEERING is an essential performance upgrade for C5-generation Corvette enthusiasts. Designed for drivers who prioritize unrestricted airflow, this filter enhances horsepower and throttle response by replacing the restrictive OEM element with a high-flow design tailored for the LS1 platform. Whether for track days or daily driving, this filter addresses a critical bottleneck in the intake system.

Constructed with K AND N's washable, reusable cotton-gauze media, this air filter exemplifies their commitment to performance. Unlike disposable paper filters that can become restrictive over time, this filter maintains consistent airflow while effectively capturing microscopic contaminants. Its pleated design maximizes surface area, reducing pressure drop and allowing the 5.7L engine to draw in cooler, denser air, which is crucial for optimizing LS1 performance.

This air filter is particularly beneficial for Corvette owners with stock or modified LS1 engines from the 1997 to 2004 model years. It is especially valuable for vehicles equipped with cold-air intakes, ECU tuning, or forced induction systems, where factory filtration can become a significant restriction. The filter is designed to fit factory air box locations without modification, making installation straightforward for any mechanic or enthusiast.
