25,000 Miles Later: Reviewing C8 Corvette Attack Blue Air Filter!

[@NuHorizonC8]

What do you guys think of the ATAK Blue airfilter? Would you get one for your C8? 😎

[@Steveleanr]

Just installed yesterday... very easy!

[@brettautrey4117]

Really good. Great instruction. Great graphics and teaching aid. Very high quality! Keep it up.

[@larryhall6958]

Well done. Covered all the subtle tips to make the installation fool proof. 👍

[@NuHorizonC8]

Thank you! Glad it helps and was worth it!

[@pablosantana6071]

Carlos, your instructional video flowed exceptional well., thanks for what you do!

[@NuHorizonC8]

Pablo! Thank you for the feedback! 🙏🔥 Thats the goal with this channel and these how tos. Quality instructions that everyone can use to take out some of the guesswork. Next one in work is a how-to for lowering the C8 front and rear using the z51 suspension and lowering collar (for those with the front lift option that need it). Hoping to drop that sometime late next week!

[@pablosantana6071]

@@NuHorizonC8 Looking forward to watch it, and I know it will be helpful since I have front lift on mine. Thanks!

[@Duckie1333]

Great job of covering this how to. BTW I love the opening as some scenes look familiar. I wish you much sucess on your new channel.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Thank you so much Doug! Next video is in the works with our ParkerCounty Corvettes last big meetup! 😁😎

[@cobraFTW]

Keep up the videos, I can't wait to get my 2023 on order and start the mods.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Thanks Mike! Hope your able to get your C8 soon! Its very much worth the wait!

[@Steveleanr]

Have you looked at Soler perf throttle controller unit?? From what I've researched, it looks pretty awesome!

[@wazzman8760]

Installed one on my C8, definitely pulls harder and "slightly" louder.

[@NuHorizonC8]

I definitely agree it pulls slightly harder for me. I think the best part of it is the filter gives you a more crisp throttle response. Something you could feel comming out of corners and such. Thanks for the comment! 😎👍

[@wazzman8760]

@@NuHorizonC8
💯 % agreed

[@MrDRP730]

I did this filter and exhaust, I noticed a night and day difference on the throttle. The car seems more unrestricted to me.

[@NuHorizonC8]

There is a noticeable difference for sure when you combine both the aftermarket exhaust and filter. How I best described it is a more crisp throttle feel that was more lively and responsive. Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@MrDRP730]

@@NuHorizonC8 I did. Great video and also, good description!

[@NuHorizonC8]

Thank you for the feedback! 🙏 Really appreciate it!

[@AndrewBurtonS-group]

Hey, Carlos man did you ever do a brake pad video? also hopefully that link to the filter was an affiliate link I clicked it and ended up buying 1000$ of C8 stuff from paragon haha thanks for another great video :)

[@NuHorizonC8]

Haha thanks for the feedback! And I wish it was an affiliates link but havent been noticed in that way yet. 😅 I havent done the brake pad video yet but I promise its on the list of upcoming videos and will be a full HowTo that will be great to reference. Lots of videos in the works just only limited time to work on them at the moment between regular work/life stuff. 😎🙏

[@SK-pn1pe]

Good vid....I'm gonna order one of these. Seems like a good buy and everyone says they're great. I'd also say.....for 130 bucks....I'd probably just replace it every 25k miles rather than try and clean it. Even after soaking it looks pretty nasty still.

[@wazzman8760]

New subscriber to your channel. Great videos.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Thanks for the compliment and subscribing to the channel Wazzman! 🙏👍 Welcome and glad you like the videos! More to come!

[@nrdemon1031]

Great video, how long would you say it takes to take the filter out and replace? I bought one but haven’t installed it yet, a bit intimidated by it.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Hey Darren! So Id say its about an hour to hour and 30 min job from start to finish if your doing a swap from the OEM to this one and have never done it before. I can definitely understand being intimidated since it involves a few extra steps to get access compared to traditional cars. That being said this is a great one for a Do It Yourself. Super easy! The video breaks it down for all the tools youll need and step by step on how to do it. If you have any questions on the way, feel free to ask and we can help!

[@NO1CAN007]

Thank you much bro...

[@NuHorizonC8]

No problem! Glad you liked the video! 🙏😎

[@50oldschool]

I just happen to come across your video announcing the start of your channel, and like your layout of your channel. I just took possession of my new 2023 C8 2Lt HTC; I noticed that you have the Lamb doors, Was thinking about doing the same to mines, have you encountered any problems since having them installed? Also I'm in Fort Worth.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Hey congrats on the C8! Your going to love driving it for sure! And I have had some challenges with my lambo doors and its a video in the process on breaking down my experience and how to find a good installer. The parts themselves are solid, it comes down to finding a good installer. Itll take me a few weeks to put together that how-to video so if you need a suggestion on where to go before then, let me know. I can recommend you certain places in DFW specifically

[@johnc7801]

I got lambo doors on my 2020 C8 from & installed by EIKON. Would not recommend. They never insulated door wires & I pointed it out after install. They said doors will be fine. Fast forward 2 years later wires were rotted along with the circuit board for all power windows, locks, etc...had to be replaced plus the pistons to lift door were not strong & opening door is heavy, actually too heavy for my girlfriend. Just FYI. Mind you they do look awesome. Try another brand maybe & keep in mind I had one of the first C8's so everything was new & I think EIKON was the first to have the hinge kits for the doors. They may have improved doors installation, hopefully provide wire insulation & upgraded pistons since I got my mine installed. Good luck!!!

[@wazzman8760]

Have you investigated the Haltec air filter intake or the Lingenfelter intake manifold with the 95mm throttle body??
Keep up the great content.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Hey Wazzman. I have not yet. It is on the list though I plan to investigate and potentially install on the C8 platform 😁

[@wazzman8760]

@@NuHorizonC8 Thank you

[@wazzman8760]

That would be great. I have a Z06 on order so not wanting to make too many changes on my Z51. However I’m very impressed and happy with my Z51.

[@R23HTC]

So unlike a K&N, after you clean it, it doesn’t get RE-oiled? I typically use K&N in all my vehicles.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Hey David. Correct! The Attack Blue does not require to be re-oiled. The nano material does not need it because of how its manufactured and used. Ive confirmed this directly with the manufacturer and engineers.

[@R23HTC]

@@NuHorizonC8 so advantage less likely to mess up your MAF sensor, but then doesn’t last quit as long. Think I may have to give this one a try when the stock needs replacing.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Yeah its a really really easy clean and install that doesnt have the extra issues you could face with oiled filters if your not thinking doing a full on cold air intake. Definitely would recommend them. 👍

[@eversaenz7775]

Ported intake manifold yet?

[@NuHorizonC8]

Its on the list. 😎 just not yet

[@burnaby_c8]

On dash there is option said : air filter life .. for my car said %50…
Is this same as the one shows in dash ?
Or that’s totally different air filter ?

[@brettautrey4117]

I never bought one of these filters. Horsepower obsessed reviewed it quite a while ago and I thought the increase in HP or acceleration wasn't noticeable for the price. Do you disagree?

[@NuHorizonC8]

I would say by itself, the gains, with respect purely to HP are marginal and barely felt. The biggest difference I find as a good factor is throttle feel though. The throttle feels more responsive and sharp when your going through corners and rolling on the gas. So in trackday situations, thats probably where youll feel the biggest difference. In normal driving conditions or just pure acceleration, your not going to notice things as much.

[@larrygrimes824]

I put one on my 2021 non-Z51 and 0-60 times went from 3.5 to 3.1 under exact same conditions. AC on and a slight uphill grade. For me, it was a worth while purchase.

[@NuHorizonC8]

Great to hear! For the price, its a great overall improvement with a low cost for sure. Installing it yourself to save on service makes it a no brainer since its such an easy install. 👍Glad to hear your results from it!

[@wazzman8760]

Better throttle response and it pull harder.

[@wazzman8760]

Tail pipes stay much cleaner

[@NuHorizonC8]

They very much do! 👍

[@bad_gtr7505]

I would rather buy a new one every 10k miles

[@salvadormonella8953]

How'd you do that video? One of them drones? Changing your air filter = "working on your car?" Not in my world. If changing an air filter, which is about as difficult as putting gas in the car, equals the street cred of working on one's car, then that person deserves zero street cred points.

[@justdoinit2378]

Pro charger or twin turbo setup!! If you not talking about that then you not talking about anything!! Lmaooo at 6hp 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Robben04]

Awesome video, great how to, only if I had a c8 to do it on as well 🥲 definitely will be adding a new air filter on my c6 when I hopefully get one 🏎️

[@NuHorizonC8]

Keep grinding buddy! We all started somewhere and the hard work pays off believe me!
