SLP Blackwing Question

I just bought SLP BlackWing for an 01 Z06

I was previously running an AFE filter with AFE PowerDuct.
AFE has the MAS going right into the filter, then that attaches to the power duct.

SLP says I should use my stock connector.

Can I use the AFE PowerDuct and SLP filter? Can I force my MAF into the SLP filter directly?(seems like a tight fit!)

Please help

Thanks

I would install the Blackwing as per the instructions, They spent a lot of time to come up with the best set up for the filter.

About the only way you will know whether you can do it the way you describe is just try it, but I think I would stick with what Blackwing suggests.

Why did you decide to change? Was the AFE filter damaged? I had to use my stock maf adapter on the power duct because it was too big for my 99. The AFE filter that came with mine was a tight fit, if it were any larger I would have had to cut some off of the power duct.
