First mod I installed on my C-5 was a blackwing w/carbon fibre duct.
Easy install, and noticeable difference in poop. How much... who knows.
I can hear the air intake slightly when I'm really on it w/ windows down.
Not a bad sound, I just didn't know what it was at first.
I'd probably go with the Blackwing on my C-6 if/ when they are available. Have you heard anything???
Merry Christmas!

One thing to remember that the Blackwing is a non ram air system where the Vortex is a ram induction system. Ram air systems have been proven to be faster at the track.
