Re: Air Induction Systems (123Gone)
Cut her up!!! Lots of performance gain from it, and that shroud can be ordered for $30 replacment.... or you can order a pre-cut one and keep one thats on your car for a spare.

Re: Air Induction Systems (123Gone)
Do some research on this in the forum I have seen posts of gains of 22HP to maybe 3HP for the same intake :crazy: The bottom suckers do carry the risk of water ingestion which can ruin your motor.. I went with the Donaldson as it gave me a free flowing filter, with a minimum chance of water problems :jester

Re: Air Induction Systems (johnso26)
If you absolutely - positively don't want to cut, get the Donaldson. 
BUT......... do yourself (and your car) a favor by giving your engine some fresh air :yesnod: either by cutting the shroud and using another intake system (K&N, Vortex, HallTech, etc.), or installing some type of intake screens (Z06 or aftermarket) with the Donaldson. :D

What is the risk of voiding the warranty if she is cut on?

Get the Donaldson Blackwing and add some front intake screens like these http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/pro...ail.cfm?iid=86from West Coast Corvette, let some outside air in to feed the intake.

Re: Air Induction Systems (123Gone)
Use the Haltech MAG and the RM Racing twin filter. Looks cool and would work well. Try posting a WTB on the "C5 parts 4 sale" section. I think one of the members is upgrading to the Hatech TRIC.

Re: Air Induction Systems (123Gone)
I just received the Halltech Tric for my 99 m6.This replaced the K&N twin flow that I have.I did something different with it though.I did not cut the hole thru the shroud.Instead,I used the coupler and air bridge connected to one side maf sensor and the wedge filter on the other end.The filter is located were the stock filter used to be.Now,this is the twist,I loosen the bottom middle portion of the shroud to act like and cold air scope.I can notice a big difference in the vehicle and the exhaust tone was changed too.WOW! :chevy
