Problems with a Blackwing on a Z06
Who has had them? I've picked up some anecdotal references in the other intake post, but who's had what issues? I've got the one from my coupe sitting in the garage (which had zero issues) and I'm debating to install or sell.
Thoughts are appreciated. :yesnod:

I have both a BW and a BPP Power Duct on my '01 for a year and half without any problems. Added a Shaner S2 last Christmas.

Re: Problems with a Blackwing on a Z06 (GOLD72)
Once you have done it, it is only 10 minutes to take it on and off. So if you don't like it, you can just go back to stock.
It is worth it just for the sound, the whole sound of the car changes for the better, deeper and louder.
If you do the ty-wrap, no lid mod, that is about half way to the Blackwing, so it would show you where you are going.
