none. there is an aftermarket filter piece that you can put between your hood and the intake screen. I had it for awhile, but then lost it.

The C5 doesnt have a Cabin Filter. The C6 does.

Putting a filter on the cowl cover openings will not eliminate the dust dirt smells from enetring the cabin compartment! Here is why:

If you carefully examine your cowl cover (The ends), you will see that it does NOT completely seal that cowl trough area.

The actual place where a filter would need to be placed is the small square opening near the passengers side wiper stem of the cowl trough.
