Default Need some Help/Info
I want to change my air filter system but not a complete change. Here is my current setup;







All I want to do is change the filter part, but not sure what to go with that will just be a simply change out of the filter. I have looked at the post from White Rabbit, but I am not sure that the K&N filter is the bast way to go because it is a C6 filter and the flange is a four inch and the MAF is three and a half. Will the Blackwing or Helltech.

No I want to remove and replace the chrome Y-pipe and filters with a either the Helltech or the Blackwing. but that is all I want to change. I want to retain the carbon fiber air bridge.

YES! That can be done - purchase a Blackwing and install it as per the instructions -

Your CF Airbridge is fine and will work perfect with the Balckwing!

Thanks,Matt

Over the stock box, I am sure there is some gain, but I will admit that if you are looking for a true cold air setup than the Vararam is the way to go.
