I see that it comes in two versions for the C6, one has a Carbon Fiber look Air Bridge , the other is just black. Is there any performance difference or is it just looks and $ 125 more

Purely cosmetic. Other than that, they are both the same.
Cheers.

Seems that the Halltech, Blackwing and K&N are very similar. All should give similar HP gains. I hear 6-8.

There is only one version of the Blackwing available for the C6, and it comes with the carbon fiber airbridge. The newest version is PT# 21117 and it replaces all other PT's out there. Some places might have old pictures or PT's on their sites...but I highly doubt you will find the old unit actually in stock.
