Stock Box assembly
Other than a slightly bigger opening, the box portion is the same. So, you don't need to buy a new Z06 intake. Any C5 intake will work just fine.
I used the factory clamps. I simply removed the factory metal straps and replaced them with shorter one made from wire ties. This allows for consistent pressure to the filter frame.
Here Mc Rat's car. They just wrapped the ties around the box. I re-used the factory hardware to allow you to change the filter. You can see the aftermarket hood seal install on his car in the picture below.
Hope this helps...
