This is a modified oem Z06 air intake assembly. It isn't as sexy as an after market, but it sounds the same as a "Blackwing" which is what I originally used. Most people equate the sound with more power, anyway. I use it with the oem air bridge and an SLP (bump) duct from the throttle body to the air bridge. Everything installs as original.

The best part is it doesn't cause any DIC codes and it only cost my labor. Yes, I know that this is a very rare 12v version...

AFE Stage II. Never had a problem with it and the filter and bridge are huge.

JW, did you do a 'how-I-did-it" post? I seem to be search challenged.

(most entertaining -- and accurate -- profile! LOL)
