Default Blackwing is coming!!

My Blackwing is on the way. Suppose to be here on the 3rd and hopefully will have it installed shortly there after. Hopefully along with my Corsa Indy exhaust and X-pipe it will add a little more power. I have nothing but good things to say about the exhaust. We shall see, new to this whole beefing up your car thing. It sure is fun. Anyway ya'll have a Happy New Year. Hopefully there won't be much of this... :U :cheers:

movinlow- Welcome to the Forum! Congrats on the Blackwing.When you install it you have to push /pull the filter "body" over studs.(There are rubber gromets on the filter that you have to slide onto positioning prongs/studs on the car- it shows this in the directions.) Walk around the front of the car and reach down between the open hood and the front fascia and pull the blackwing onto the studs. Many of us damn near strained a nut reaching down and pushing it on from inside the engine compartment . Just my $0.02. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
