What year is your C5?
I think that coupler is only needed on 2001 and newer only.. I _think_ the airbridge is slightly larger on the newer cars?
Didn't need one on my 98 either.

Re: Blackwing Install Question (OHoneC5)
The little coupler is for 2001 and newer Vettes. I just put the Blackwing on my 2000 and it was a very straightforward install. The only hard part was getting the clamp off the MAF sensor - it is crimped from the factory. Be sure you line up the Blackwing with the tabs on the MAF and you will be set. Also, be sure you tighten down the clamps well so that there is no air leaks.
Good luck and enjoy.
