Default Air intake

Looking for an opinion on the K&N FIPKE intake system. I have been told it is better than the twin flow. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi & welcome,
I can not speak for the K&N System.
However, I am sure you and your vette would be happy with a Blackwing looks, installation ease and performance; as I am.

In the search feature there is much discussion about air intakes with the bottom lkine being....get cold air to the filter by utilizing a bottom breather like a breathless performance vortex etc..

Blackwing gets my nod also......check out Exit 28 or TPS for best pricing and considerably less than K/N.... :smash:

Does the Blackwing use the stock air bridge, or is there enough difference in the flow for that to matter?
