Default Airaid Filter!

Anybody using the Airaid filter of their C5.

I'm leaning towards Airaid or Blackwing. Airaid is cheaper and is good quality still. Any reviews with the Airaid filter from anyone?

I just ordered one from Southerncarparts. Haven't received it yet but am excited to install it. Still have a couple months before I can drive it though. Minnesota snow sucks...

Never have used the Air Raid filter, but I have had the Blackwing on my last two C5s. Easy to install, works well and looks great.

We use and sale Airaid filters on a lot of project cars here. We like them and have good success with their products. We also use a lot of vararam products as well that might be worth looking into. Check them out on here and let me know if we can help.
