Blackwing Question
My very good friend sold his 97 and gave me his blackwing CAI. My question is I read where this wont fit my 2002 I need to know why and if there is a way to make it fit. I know nothing about the slp blackwing and don't know the difference between the 97-00 and the 01-04 kit.

I have a blackwing and used it on a '99.
The difference is in the rubber that fits it to the car. The early cars have the coupler that is stepped down to be smaller on the engine side. The later cars have a coupler that is the same size on both end so it is more or less just a rubber hose. The early cars have a 3.5" MAF (uses the stepped down coupler) and the later cars have a 4" MAF (uses the straight coupler).
Mine had both couplers with it when I got it used. I don't know if it originally came that way. If you have the early coupler, all you need is a section of the right size hose to connect it.
Good luck.
