looks like the power duct AND the CAI too. I have it on my car and can tell by the "ducts" that travel down to where the fog light housing would be (although no fogs on the Z06) in the first pic
But previous owner seems to have removed the radiator shroud (that keeps the air trapped in front of the radiator so it only moves through the radiator). It could be the angle of the picture that fools me - but normally the vararam CAI is installed very tight against the shroud as there is not much space. And this one seems to have plenty space.
It will typically affect the cooling system if the shroud is missing, as the cooling air will not be directed through the radiator - but instead over the radiator.
Congrats with a nice looking Z with a nice and clean engine bay (hope the of the car looks same)

Your comment made go back and look closer. Yes the shroud is missing. I hope I can fit one in there.
