Default Questions regarding cone filter...

If i want to upgrade to a cone filter, is the install pretty easy? Is there a specific part number for the K & N cone filter? Thanks

Default You will need a kit...not just cone filter...

The kit will replace the factory airbox with tubing, heatshield, and the filter. You can't just rip the boxoff and put a filter on...there are sensors that need to be placed back onto the intake with a cone filter setup. Take a look at some of the pics that LLTEK have and you will see what I am talking about.

Default Not necessarily.....

I got mine attached without a kit, and so does WYSIWYG. It does take a little work though. The ignition module needs to be mounted on a heatsink (or it will fry, and its very expen$ive) and you need to create a heat shield of some sort. If you do it yourself, then it's possible to keep the stock airhorn. Might not be enough room to put it on an aftermarket setup.

A lot of people say it doesn't make a difference. It does.

What year is your car? Some people have had problems with a cone filter on the 2001 models.

Here are a couple shots of mine.

I was just trying to say that you can't just rip off the box and put a cone filter on. =)
