The MTI Ram-Air intake setup for the C5 is pretty cool, it has a nice scoop that protrudes below the front bumper that collects cool air. It also comes with a brand new, precut shroud so installation is easy.

The only open filter setup that I like is the Donaldson. Its just a simple looking setup but works okay too.

There are a TON of gimmicks out there as far as airboxes for C5s. I tend to suggest ones that don't look cheesy and function well.

There are definately alot of choices out there. Do a search on Corvetteforum.com and you'll get some answers. Where in Michigan are you located? I'm in the Bay City area. Later <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

In my opinion, I would do the '02 Z06 housing with a K&N filter. The thing will flow real nice and it's priced right too.
good luck with your decision
