Default Air Filters....

our 05 is at the dealer getting an oil change. He called said both air filters need to be replaced. Cost is $80 to replace both. Is that reasonable, or can I get them cheaper at an auto parts store? And are they easy to change?

I went to O'rielly's auto parts site and plugged in 2005 corvette. It showed a AC Delco A2945C at $25.99 (requires 2) and WIX 42821 at $12.49(requires 2). WIX makes a great product.

Not that big a deal to replace.

If you replace the cabin air filter make sure it is a carbon impregnated one.

Anyone have instructions for replacing the stock air filter? I haven't been able to locate any on the forum so far.

Have you popped the hood?

It's pretty straight forward with only a few latches to un-snap.
