Re: air filters It's not hard to do at all. Just pop off the airbox and it'll be sitting right there. you do this by unlatching the two silver hooks in front of it and lifting the air box.
But.... if you haven't already done so, get yourself a Holley or K&N Filter which you will never have to change and all you need to do is recharge them every 30-50,000 miles depending on the conditions you drive in. The filters cost 50 bucks and the cleaning kit is 10 bucks. Almost all of our sponsors carry them. try www.ls1motorsports.com.

Re: air filters They have but one filter. Go pull your lid and study the intake tract. You'll see that the air flows through the filter, lid, MAF sensor, accordian tube, throttle body, and into the intake manifold.

How much do they cost? I didn't think there were any Donaldson products for F-bodies. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: air filters You get them at SLP Engineering and not SLP Performance Parts. SLP Engineering is the OEM manufacturer of the Camaro SS and Firehawk and is located in Troy, Michigan. You have to call them and order them.

Re: air filters "the 345hp package that SLP offered on the 2002 F-bodies"
That's all marketing <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> . 345fwhp for sure, which is how they rate it but it's still a bit misleading. There's nothing in that package to yield a 40hp increase over say a '00 Z28.
