Default Dumb Question

Is the plastic thingy cover over the Air Filter important? Mine is loose as h*ll, and rattles. I think it's to keep water out of the filter, but I've had Blackwings on all my C5s without any problems. I'm a fixin to take it off if it's OK

We missed you at the gathering today. Mike from Miami picked up his Z06, but I was the only C6 out of 10 or so Vettes.

It's certainly not sealed, but with the cover gone will the filters stay in place well? Mine got pulled off the first week for a BPP blackwing type setup.

I was planning on coming, but it was raining like crazy here. Maybe next time. Blackwing will be ordered soon.
