Donaldson questions
I am considering putting a Donaldson on my car. It is not a daily driver and I do not take it to the track. This would be my first performace mod (I still have stock exhaust). Will I notice a difference on the street? Or am I better off putting the money towards something else? Opinions please.
Thanks,
Scott

I like mine. Sounds a little different, feels a little different and looks a whole lot better. Cheap, easy and you'll never have to replace a filter again.

Re: Donaldson questions (willsco)
If you are happy with the sound of the stock exhaust, and there are not apperance mods you want now, then I would get the Blackwing.
My car does not go to the track, but with the Blackwing it is more enjoyable in the 3K-5K RPM range and sometimes even beyond.
My first purchase was an exhaust, then a few apperarance mods, lowering CAGS, etc., then the Blackwing. You will enjoy whatever you get for your Vette! :yesnod: :chevy :flag :chevy :flag

I like mine. You'll notice a difference as well. Kind of like a difference on a hot, muggy afternoon vs. a cool, crisp morning.

Re: Donaldson questions (Sniper168gr)
I installed one, maybe its just my imagination but it feels different. I will know when I dyno it again next month. A lot of filter surface. GM's idea for more filter surface was to open the Z06's air box more.....get the point. :cheers:

The Donaldson is a great mod. You will feel the difference. Also, if you decide you want a cold air setup you can easily upgrade to it with the cover that they sell. I had one on my car in the past and it worked great.
