any advantage to Green filters?

Anyone seen any advantage over stock for Green intake air filters on 4BW? other than permanence of the filters?

not exactly performance related, but there were a ton of bugs, leaves and road debris sitting below the filters for me. I plugged the intake tubes and hit it with the shop vac

Now I am trying to figure out if I can feel anything in the powerband, but it feels like my car idles smoother now.

Also, be very careful not to strip the screws on the intake lid (especially the corner ones), and don't forget about the extra one in the middle. Mine were installed extremely tight during what I would assume was service related

For those who have stripped one of the intake retainer bolt heads ($13/screw new) -- it looks like the camaro intake lid bolts are identical, but use a torx head as an alternative. I ordered a bag of them to compare -- they may be easier to get in and out than the phillips head ones

My dealer had those screws listed at $18 and some change. I found a replacement on Amazon for a bag of 25 of them for just over $30.

Do you still have a link to the Amazon replacements, or the verbiage to search? thanks
