Default Blackwing Installation

I'm planning on purchasing a Donaldson Blackwing. I had a friend do some reseach on the blackwing. We had a question on the required pieces to do the installation. I have the current Mid America catalog #154B. On page 5-31 shows the Blackwing induction system. The picture shows the filter and a coupler. My question is do I need to purchase this shown coupler for my MAF to attach to blackwing fliter housing? I'm installing a carbon fiber power duct in place of the stock power duct. My car is a 04 Zo6/Z16.

Any help would be great

Mike P. :cheers: :flag :party:

Nope, dont need the coupler. just the filter will do fine. it uses the stock ducts. the power duct is just a cosmetic change, expect zero HP gains from that.

Dad got the blackwing and new powerduct. Don't know if the power duct did anything, but it looks pretty and the car really pulls now.
