They are the filter of choice if you don't want to modify your shroud. They just snap in place of the factory one. I have some left in stock at $200 including shipping ,if you're interested. ANDY

A Donaldson Blackwing replaces the intake housing and the filter. Not sure if it is more efficient than a K&N filter system. Anyways, a blackwing setup is one of the best mods for the buck you can get.

It's found, typically in pairs, on a black bird. Its used for propulsion and mating rituals. :D :D

Seriously, the others' answers should inform you.

Put one on my car a couple of weeks ago. Besides the good looks, it seems to have a better response than before. A good buy for the money.

I put one the day my new vette was delivered to me. It's a great mod and completely reversible. Highly recommended. Noticable power increase, also.
