Did you see the FAQ where they recommend NOT running a cone filter?

Default Nope. Didn't see that.

A little too late for me to switch back!

Default I can't imagine there's no work-around or that it's a deal-killer...

Maybe you can adapt a short piece of silicone hose between your MAF inlet and air filter... anything to lengthen the tract between filter and MAF. Likely even a half inch would help but 2.75"-3" is what I've found to be optimum. That's the reasoning behind the velocity stack MAF inlets I'm making for the stock airbox. Gives the sensor wires a much-improved quality of air to sample.

I still can't figure out why the people that make the MAF adapter plates for cone filters don't make their flange tubes 2.75"-3" long... this aint rocket science!

Default I'll have to take a look.

There's not too much room to extend the cone due to the black-plastic drain that get's in the way. I already had to trim some of it to make room for the new cone. It would probably take a complete removal to extend the cone any further.

I'm not too worried about it though. I probably won't do anything unless I see a major problem.

Thanks,
Scott
