Hi Guys,
I installed your Pro Flow+ Housing over my existing K&N filter and felt the immediate
difference in power. The torque at low end is real nice for street use. Very impressed.
The fit and finish of the product is A1 and to boot, looks factory stock. It's the best
money I've ever spent. I would truly recommend it to anyone with a C5 looking for power
you could feel. Thanks guys... keep up the good work.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for building a performance product that really works. The car feels like my old
L88. The throttle response is awesome ! The 3000 - 6000 range is way better than stock.
The kit was easy to install and looks like a factory part. Keep the great idea's coming. I
am amazed at how the old intake restricted the cars performance. I just measured the old
system and found the intake area was about 4 - 5 square inches of "hot under hood
air" compared to Pro Flows+ 144 square inches of cold ram air. Keep the good idea's
coming !
To: C/R Motorsports Inc. RE: PRO FLOW + INSTALLED
Hi Guys,
I am very happy to report that I received and had installed the Pro Flow + Cold Air
Induction System on my C5 & I'm very pleased with it's performance. At first I wasn't
sure there was any appreciable difference after installation. But as I continued to drive
her, I became aware of markedly greater acceleration, even at lower RPM's. Now when I
"nail it" during a rolling start, I notice that simultaneously, the front end
lifts up, the back end sits down, and she just "takes off" with reckless
abandon. All the while, the LS1 emits a terrifying growl which is characterized by an ever
rising pitch and increasing volume level, as the RPM's and ground speed climb at a scary
rate. (No, I didn't copy the previous description from a recent automotive magazine
featuring the road test of the '99 C5 Hard Top - they are all my own words!) This is all
happening very quickly with no noticeable bogging down, as advertised. Since you called me
back two or three weeks ago after I ordered your part, to get my feedback shortly after
receiving the same, I just thought you'd still like to get the "after-installation
scoop", especially from a relative sports car novice like myself. Besides my
aforementioned satisfaction with your product, I was very impressed with your marketing
efforts, in that you supplied me with a great deal of interesting and relevant info, that
even I could easily comprehend. The bottom line: I regard your whole approach to selling
and marketing this product greatly appealing, because it's honest, credible and very
refreshing. Thanks, Rich. Hope your Pro Flow+ sales are successful beyond your wildest
dreams !
Truly, Tom P.
Hello Rich,
The Pro-Flow arrived on Monday as you predicted, and I installed it on my '99 Hardtop that
evening after work. Afterward, I took it for a couple of full throttle runs and could feel
the increase in power. Before, the car felt like it was sort of holding back as rpms
climbed beyond 4000. Now, it feels like it just keeps getting more powerful all the way to
6000. Your packaging, template, and instructions were very professional looking. It took
me about 2 hours to install, which I expected given this was the first time my hands went
under the hood, but there were no surprises. I like the way the intake system looks stock
and clean in keeping with the overall clean appearance of the C5 engine compartment. It
actually looks cleaner than stock. Please keep in touch regarding other products you have
developed / tested.
Good luck, and thanks.
Hi Chris:
I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how impressed I am with your
product, the Pro Flow+. After looking at some of the competing products, I am glad that I
saw how much better your design and product is. Everything from the quality and
composition of the parts to the well thought out and written installation instructions was
first rate. I have used other performance intake products on other cars and your design
and product quality is far superior. Enough of the boring stuff... How does it perform.
Well, the car feels like a rocket. First and second gear seem to go by way to quick. The
car is even more drivable with the low engine speed bogging gone. I would certainly
recommend this product to any C5 enthusiast. Good Luck.

Hello Gentlemen,
Just wanted to let you know that I am extremely pleased with the Pro Flow+ system. I felt
an immediate improvement in acceleration and throttle response, also it's as quiet as
stock. The installation is straight forward. One Installation tip I would suggest is to
have a sharp knife to cut the shroud.

Hey folks -
I'm very impressed by what I've seen so far with the ProFlow+. The instructions are very
clear, nicely prepared, and easy to follow. I'm also quite impressed by the apparent
thoughtfulness you guys put into the design and fabrication of the plastic filter cover
that attaches to the radiator shroud. A co-worker and fellow car-nut came over on a Friday
evening to help me with the modification. We had no trouble following the instructions,
but I think the next time we'll try and remove the radiator shroud. Although doing so will
take quite a bit more time I'd imagine, the cutting and hole-poking will be substantially
easier. The perkiness in the engine was almost immediately evident. During the first test
run, I could feel a noticeable change at around 2000 RPMs. As the revs climbed past 3500,
the engine became even happier. One of your claims is that the box creates a ram of sorts.
I tested this out on a lonely stretch off road. With my foot planted into the cut pile in
fourth gear, I watched as the speedo clicked off 135, 136, 137 and was amazed at how
strongly the car was pulling. The engine is definitely a little easier to live with now
that it has some more low-end torque. That was always one of my gripes with the LS1, but
no more. Although I don't think the ProFlow+ completely flattened the torque curve of the
engine, it definitely lifted it quite a bit. For anyone thinking about changing the intake
on their C5: I strongly recommend you give the ProFlow+ some serious consideration. It's
one of the more professionally thought out and constructed units I've seen so far. I've
looked at others, and I don't like the way they leave the A.I.R. hose flapping under the
hood, or the way they leave the air filter(s) in a direct line of water should you open
your hood. Also, the guys at C/R Motorsports aren't a "Sell It and Forget Their
Customers" kind of shop. In fact, Rich from C/R checked my installation photos,
called me on the phone, and pointed out a mistake I'd made. Very nice indeed.

Rich,
The Pro Flow+ is well worth the money spent. It looks like a "from-the-factory"
part. I noticed an immediate improvement in throttle response, it really revs freely. I
also noticed an increase in low-end performance as well, less bogging down at low speed
and 4th gear. The instructions were great and so is the look.
Bill Washington
Chris & Rich,
Wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the Pro Flow+ and the way you take care of
your customers! The housing is well made with thick ABS plastic and the instructions and
the cut out template were informative and professionally put together. At the track I
picked up 2/10's and 3 miles an hour when I switched out the stock induction system with
the Pro Flow+ which was done at the track on the same day. I chose your product over all
other induction systems, because it's simply the BEST CHOICE FOR PERFORMANCE.
60ft - 2.107 ..1/4 - 12.79 MPH - 110.03
60ft - 2.170 ..1/4 - 12.87 MPH - 110.26
60ft - 2.113 ..1/4 - 12.76 MPH - 110.38
Thanks for all the help guys,

Hey Rich,
I installed the Pro Flow+ kit this week and I must say that you guys really did your
homework. This thing really works! Looks like it came from the factory..... it should
have. After installation I immediately noticed superior throttle response and to my
surprise, no more "low - end bog". I expected improved performance in the upper
RPM range, but the low - end was a very pleasant surprise! The car reaches the 6000 RPM
shut-off very quickly now and you need to be ready to shift as soon as you nail it. This
car now feels like my 1965 396-425 without all the maintenance. I have a friend with a
Viper GTS and I still can't beat him.. But I'm GETTING CLOSER!
Thank you

Guys,
Just wrote to tell you what I thought.
My 99' C5 is showroom stock, 6-speed with MAF screen removed. Prior to the addition of the
PRO FLOW+ kit, it would flatten out at 4800 RPM in Denver's mile high altitude. After
installing the kit (I used my own screws and washers) my C5 pulls strong from the bottom
all the way up to 6000 RPM shift point. On one occasion, it pulled so hard that I hit the
REV limiter before I could shift. To anyone not familiar with the C5, it looks Factory
Stock.
It's a GREAT product. Thanks
Jim Lemieux
Thanks

Hi Rich,
I was very impressed with the kit when it arrived. Very professional & well thought
out. Installation instructions and hardware are top notch. I worked slow and methodical,
total time to install was about 2 hours. It looks great! I've never had my car on a dyno,
so I can't report any firm numbers, but the seat of the pants tells me there is a definite
improvement in acceleration. This is the only modification to my C5 so far. I would highly
recommend this product to anyone wanting a quick and easy improvement in performance to
their LS1.
Thanks again'

To the Guys at C/R Motorsports,
Thank you for bringing out a remarkable product, in the Pro Flow+. It was a very simple
installation, looks great, draws in cool air unlike the others that grab HOT air from
under the hood. The benefits so far are great. Quick throttle response and sounds great
also. haven't made it to the track just yet but very excited to see what your fine product
has done for my C5.
Thank you,
Andrew Pagan
Hey Guys,
I looked at all the different air induction systems currently available. Yours made the
most sense and seemed to be the best system for getting the maximum amount of cool air
into the engine. Your PRO FLOW+ kit is well thought out and installs without any major
problems. The instructions that were included were straight forward & easy to follow.
The best part however, is the ADDED performance. My car has a new crispness & throttle
response is now instant - pinning you back into the seat, like a Corvette should. Thanks
for a good product.

I was very disappointed with the performance of the
K&N flat filter using the engine compartment air. So when I saw the PRO FLOW+ setup I
was very excited. I contacted Rich at C/R Motorsports and he assured me that I would be
impressed with the performance. I received my PRO FLOW+ kit in 3 days, spent an hour
installing it and then off I went to the track. Right away I felt a better throttle
response and a .5 second off 1/4 mile time. 13.85 to 13.35. 106.02 .to
107.68 MPH.
Thanks Rich and everybody at C/R Motorsports- keep working on new products.

Hello Rich,
I wanted to drop you a note about the ProFlow+ unit I installed. I must say this a
beautifully crafted product. Fit and finish is excellent with the highest quality
materials. This is a very well designed package. My impression after driving the car with
this unit is that it should have been factory equipment. Acceleration at any speed is
greatly improved and the hesitation I used to experience is gone. I believe that tapping
into the high-pressure cool air under the car is what makes this product work so well. I
highly recommend this upgrade to any C5 owner. It is an excellent value.
Thanks again,
Tom
