Default Cabin air filter

3) Many if not most cars have a cabin air filter that can be changed by the owner or a shop. Does the 2003 Corvette have one? I read the owners manual cover to cover, but did not see anything about a cabin air filter. It is possible that I missed a page, or wasn't paying close attention during one paragraph.

If there is a filter, where is it? Can it be easily changed? Does Advance Auto or Auto Zone stock replacements?

Thank you again.

There is no cabin air filter on the C5. One less maintenance item to worry about.

Thank you again.
If you pop open the hood and look right below the windshield wipers and see a channel with small holes, well that's the cabin inlet but without a filter. No filter is needed but definitely keep it clean.

I checked Corvette Mods. Looks like they're available for just the C3 and C7:
