Anyone recognize this air intake?
I bought this 99 as a stock base Corvette from a dealer. Obviously, it's not and after searching around I'm fairly confident that this is not the stock air intake on a 99 Vette. But darned if I can find a picture to match the setup.
Anyone recognize it? It looks like maybe 2 K&N cones mounted ahead of the radiator? Beyond that I don't know.
TIA.
Jim

About a gazillion companies sold those "twin flow" setups a few years back, most cheaply made China junk.

Tip: When asking this type question, the old saying about "a picture is worth a thousand, etc, etc" is never truer. Most people here can tell you what is stock and what is not much easier with pix. At least that's true for most things.
Judging from your pics thus far, you have a lot of underhood "bling" that's not stock.

No problemo. Don't hesitate to ask. It's what "we" do.

I wholeheartedly agree, This intake setup is a POS. Imagine how confused the MAF is trying to deal with two streams of air crashing together just upstream of it. Relocating the MAF up close to the throttle body will help but this is still FAR from an optimum air intake. Kinda cool visually but sucks bigtime performance wise!
