Installed my Blackwing!
Well today I got my beautiful Blackwing in the mail along with the hood seal (both from Exit 28 at a GREAT price).
Anyhow, I could not believe how nasty my stock filter was!!! I just got my 99 last month (GM certified) and I'm pretty upset the dealer didn't replace it. The filter was so bad there were a couple of grass blades in the MAF screen! :U
In with the Blackwing and out with the old box and MAF screen. Night and day difference! (remember my filter was shot). I can not believe how fast my car is now!!! I can't wait for the FLP's ;). The install is easy and took no more than 15 minutes including carefully prying the MAF screen out (I have pictures of it compressed - wow).
On a side note - what side is the MAF connector supposed to be on? Passenger's or driver's? Mine is on the driver's side but it just didn't look correct. Thanks.
