Default Blackwing users?

Considering an intake for clean looks and mild performance. I had a Stinger on my Z. I noticed that there don't seem to be many Blackwing users in the C6 world. Any feedback from those who are running one is appreciated.

i have the SLP blackwing on the wifes 05 and i really like
SUPER easy to install
price wasn't to bad
looks great too
and it helped on her car, of course the stock air filters on the LS2's are not so desireable

if you are looking for more performance check out the V-Ram setup
if you want a VERY quick and easy install with improvement over stock the SLP Blackwing is nice
we dont get any codes or anything
and with any aftermarket filters that require oil, DO NOT over oil them when after you clean them
