I saw on the Corvette forum mall that there were two kinds of Donaldson Blackwing filters.One was for 00'C5's and 01' C5/Z06.Is there a difference in the two?

-----------------------------------------
Unless the manufacturer put a 4 inch diameter inlet to filter I personally would not use the Blackwing. Why go from filter to 3.5 inch hole and then back to 4 inch maf.
Guys..imho...get the c/r motorsports unit/ the vortex/ or the Halltech..(PS..Carl..tons of guys with lowered cars run Halltech..lol)
If you have 4 inch maf unit on your zo6..which you all do..then don't use an airfilter like the LS6/blackwing until the unit is made with 4 inch outlet..
Don't use a coupler to get to 4 inchs. (if they made the blackwing with one 4 inch hole..then its a good unit for cold air cover too..
JMO..not a flame..
Also the air brigdes are for style ..not really power. Looks nice!
Cold air will decrease intake air temps by 30 degrees..every 10 degrees equals 1 percent in crease in power on the road..not dyno..3 percent increase by going cold air..equals an additional 11 hp..over dyno reports of aftermarket intakes.
Cold air rules..pick your poison..have fun..they are all great..
---------------------------------------------
The filters are the same. The difference is for the 01 you also get an rubber ring that goes between the Blackwing and the MAF. I guess it was shorter than the 1997 - 2000 models and the ring makes up the difference.
