Blackwing install
Couple thoughts after installing mine yesterday.
1 Leave the grommits on the spuds don't take them off, they fit loose in the air bridge and filter and kept falling off.
2. On cars with the old style MAFS, make sure you rotate the rubber sleeve on the blackwing so that the notch lines up with the alignment tab on the MAF, I did not do this at first, and the MAF did not go in far enough and I was unable to get the airbridge to stay in place.
Other than that, sweet product, like others have said it looks like a GM part (Considering Donaldson made the air box on my 'Burb, its not suprising)
Can't tell really on the performance increase yet. I also did not notice anymore induction noise than before.
