Saw this and am totally confused as to what it is. Where and when was this used?

Wow never seen that before. It's got the C5 badge molded in almost like factory. I don't understand the benifits of a set up like that.

Just read the auction. The seller claims it's a factory part???

It's an OEM setup. I believe that funky airbridge was either an experimental piece, or maybe a part used on some euro export-model cars.

Not sure, but I've seen them pictured here (and asked about) before.

Yeah that's a new one on me.

It also looks like it has the filter cleaning guide like the Blackwing on the upper left hand side.

Interesting.

That's the European export airbridge. The extra volume supposedly quiets it down to meet noise regulations over there.
