Different take on the "Zip-Tie" mod
Hey guys. After lots of database search here and on Z06vette on which CAI to use I decided to go with the zip tie mod for its practicality and cost to performance ratio. Anyway, I like the "zip-tie" idea but I felt the execution of it could be improved. Instead of using zip ties I used industrial rubber bands. Using the bands allows a much easier switch of the air filter for replacement or inspection and they hold the filter in very securely. Speaking of filters any of you have the part number for the K&N replacement? Oh and by the way I also installed the hood seal for safety.
The job was a breeze and as for performance so far none noted after the idle re-learn and a good spirited 20 mile drive, but I expect that over time and driving cycles that the performance will become noticeable. If I gain nothing at all, no big deal the mod was free and easily reversible or improved by a Halltech, Blackwing,Vortex, Vararam etc etc. :D
Here are a couple of pics, enjoy!

MAN,,, you are all over this MOD!!!! :thumbs: :thumbs: Good job!!
Here are the numbers straight off the box:
I ordered it from ECKLERS and the Ecklers tag # is 35081 and there is a number to the right of that # 040699/2B1-02.
There is also a bar code number on the box # 33-2111
I believe that the number that you need to use to order the filter is 33-2111
The Ecklers tag has the 33-2111 number on it also.
