Default Question about stock intake

I have a 2002 convert, which I bought used. My air cleaner cover has an opening or scoop (facing down) which is about 2/3 the distance between the straps. Does this sound like the the stock airbox cover or could it be that the previous owner installed a Z06 cover?

Sounds like the Z06 style! Perhaps he put that on instead of the stocker!

Does it look like this one? http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=2.135.3658

Thanks,Matt

What are the dimensions??? I think the Z06 had a larger opening and that was about the only difference.

The Z06 intake had a much larger opening than the stock airbox had. If it looks like the one in the MAD link above, nice addition to the car.

Thanks for the picture.
I just went and checked and my cover does not look like the picture, so I must have the stocker.
So I guess I know what my next mod will be.
