Blackwing is installed
I got the Blackwing on. Install wasnt to bad. The sound is awesome. At idle and at cruise it really sounds no different than before. But, when you put your foot in it man does it scream. The stock airbox must have really muffled the intake. Now it has a much throatier sound coming from the front of the car. I still have the stock exhaust, PPL with a louder exhaust may never notice how much sound you get from a Blackwing. I never thought changing out the air intake would change the sound as much as it did.

Also adding a Hi-flow MAF (1000 CFM), (Stock 660 CFM) and a Hi -flow air bridge, will really increase your throttle response, and aftermarket exhaust of coarse.

I put a Blackwing on mine, and loved the sound change, plus noticed a little better response (maybe my imagination) now I've added Granatelli's, and can hear it at both ends.... sounds great, way better, but my fuel economy has gone down the drain! wonder why?.....
