09 2LT Airbox
My 09 2LT has a huge OPEN oval air cleaner. There is no airbox at all. Did GM change the design this year? I cant see wasting money on anything but maybe a stock K&N replacement filter.

No air box means it's not stock.
K&N doesn't make just a replacement filter, you have to buy the filter/air box.

they will if they can make money on it. otherwise, if this was a used car, it was probably the prior owner. was it used?

I have replacement K&N air filters installed in my 2005. These are the rectangular filters that go into the stock airbox assembly. Purcahsed them at Funfest at MidAmerica Motor Works.

Thanks Goose
That is what I have! I was expecting a more enclosed airbox where with this one you can reach up either side and touch the filter. Seems open enough to me that replacing it wouldnt make that much of a difference.
Thanks for your help guys and I WILL learn how to post pictures for my next stupid question. Bear with me, this is my very first Corvette (and loving it!).

It's just an air silencer. I replaced my air intake with the zo6 intake. It's the same thing minus the air silencer. I did this so I could could install a catch can. I can take a picture if you want. Have a good one..

The air silencer really doesn't do anything. Just cut it off and block the hole. Now it is the same as a ZO6 air intake. There is a relacement filter for this unit..but..it is not made by K&N. I believe the name of the product is "Attack Blue Air Filter". I hope this helps you.
