So, is the general concensus that if you've already replaced the stock '02 airbox lid with that from the Z06 that the BW looks good, sounds good, but isn't really going to do much more for Joe Average performance wise but you sure as hell will feel better and that counts for a lot -- and that's ok too.

Really? I've searched and can't get a straight answer. Donaldson's claim of "as much as 18 hp depending on the engine and air intake system" is as meaningful as "results not typical" in small print following an informercial.
