2002 C5 Blackwing CAI Fitment

Hello...have a chance to purchase a used c5 Blackwing at a good price.

I have been reading online that there are 2 different models for the C5.

Blackwing 21110L Fits Only 01-04 C5 (LS1 engine)

Blackwing 21110E Fits Only 97-00 C5 (LS1 engine)

Seller does not know what car this unit came off of and he says there is not a model # on the Blackwing anywhere...only a couple of Patent numbers.

What is the difference between the years and the 2 different models?

Also...i see some vendors just advertising the Blackwing to fit 97-04? is this another different model? Lol

Appreciate your input as usual

Thanks

Thanks for that info. I think i may need some sort of rubber coupler /bellows for the MAF in order to use the Blackwing on my 02...gotta look into this more

I believe the 2001 to 2004 has the visual indicator and an extra "hole" to the left of it. I have one on my 2004, but I forgot what it goes to.

i just cleaned and re-oiled mine today (on my 2004 Coupe). If I took pictures of it... could you compare it some pics of the one for sale?

Like someone said earlier, there was a hole for a vacuum line (about 1" diameter) that simply inserts into the hole. And there was another cylindrical-shaped piece (that kinda looks like a "plug" of some sort just to the right of that (both on the driver's side).

I didn't measure the diameter of the MAF.
Here is a photo of mine (installed)......

And a close-up photo of the vacuum tube and the other widget.....

That would be fantastic...

i think from reading more.. my concern would be what coupler/bellow i need to join the Blackwing to the Maf for my 2002....probably this one??

The Blackwing i am looking at does have the 2 holes to the right...one for the air hose and the other houses an indicator that is already on the Blackwing
