Default Aftermarket C5 Air bridge?
I am wondering if the air bridge is worth getting? Is there any gain by installing an aftermarket one. If so which would be the recommended product?

Best aftermarket "air bridge" I'd recommend would be via a Callaway Honker (completely replaces the air bridge and moves the MAF back to the TB).

Just the bridge? Definitely not.

If you are going to do a full air intake kit then yes - you can pick up a little power.

Buy a vararam, i woudnt change the stock airbridge as a Performance mod, if you consider it a asthetics mod and you want to change it go for it!

I already have a vararam, I'm just wondering if the air bridge is worth it. It seems like more of a cosmetic mod.

That's the kind of nickel and dime junk that adds up over time and really doesn't make your car one bit faster.

Adding any less than about 20 hp at a time isn’t even noticeable.
