Default WCC Hurricane Intakes

Is anyone out there using the WCC Hurricane Intake? It looks like you do not need to cut the radiator shoud. I was also wondering if you need the aftermarket power duct. I looks like the OEM duct should work.

Thanks

I have one but had West Coast Corvette install it. Reading other posts indicated it wasn't that easy to install. Install cost about as much as the intake. The old shroud and intake is trashed and a new shroud that is already cut is installed. You can use the OEM bridge but it's recommended to use a less restictive one. WCC sells it all. Check out their website at: www.westcoastcorvette.com. I really noticed an improvment in performance. Good Luck!!!

I've had mine for about a year and half, It took me about 2 hours to install. I'm happy with it and the filter does the job.

I have had one for about a year and a half, no problems. Install about 2-3 hours, replaces the stock shroud and i would do the bridge since your already in there. ONly drawback is you have to take the whole thing out to clean the filter.
