Conical air filter

Why not buy the maf kit and have the filter and more power & mpg?
Lifetime warrantied too. Many places sell the adaptor.
 
how much are you charging for it and will it be a direct fit?(Intake tube to MAF) What about the icebox too?
 
I would buy the adapter if you want a cone filter. Why not just open up the front of your stock air box to improve the air flow? You will be sucking in hot air with the cone filter unless you have it sealed from the engine compartment.
 
The point of the conical filter is to give you more media surface area for more flow and better throttle response. Cutting up the front of the air box won't do much.
 
Ya. The "restrictive" part is the filter. The stock filter works well, but a conical will make things better. Then the next restriction point is the throttle body - not the MAF and most will tell/sell ya. Its a vacuum system, the termination point being the TB.
 
The cone filter is Ok is it is sealed from the engine compartment, otherwise you are just sucking up hot air. I'm sure you guys know that it's much better to have cooler air going into the engine. You can't actually feel any difference between the cone and the ported air box on a stock engine any how. Anyways, I wouldn't waste my money on a MAF, There is too much talk of those things causing a CEL and a lean condition. I wouldn't even consider it. Sure, I had a conical filter on mine for a while, I went back to the stock ported air box. Cooler air and you can't tell any difference as far as power. If paper filters are so bad and restrictive then why have auto manufactuers been using them for decades? Those K&N filters are really more trouble then they are worth IMO.
 
The stock throttle bodies are actually not restrictive on these motors. Twin 55mm on gen 1 and twin 57mm on gen 2 (I believe). Those are good for at least 500hp.
 
I did not say there were restrictive, I said they were the next restriction :)
 
You're full of crap! The K&N is easy to clean and change. Anybody can do it! To many racing leagues including desert and cross country teams use them so they must have an advantage! I've used them for years and have had nothing but good luck with them.

Gee, when a company sponsors you, you use their product. So that obviously means that the product is a good one! :rolleyes:
 
Your crazy if someone out there doesnt have a k@n or like filter.Easiest horsepower out there.And yes, it oviously makes power.i would change the massair flow sensor and put a conical on there also.Make a little heat deflector too.For mustangs i have heard stories of some massair sensor not right but i have had zero problems with a 80mm c@L and a 75bullet.Summit racing has the 75bullet for sale now.The stock sensor is definetley a restriction.
SOMEONE SHOULD ALSO DESIGN A 3" ALUMINUM INLET TUBE FROM THE MASSAIR TO THE T/BODY.Im sure a custom rubber adapter from a tube to the oval t/body is out there.Maybe someone already did it
 
The stock mass air is not a restriction for 300-400hp power levels. It's 80mm and is fine for any NA application. You may gain some horsepower from the C&L mass air housing because it will cause you to run a little leaner.

Oh, I'm full of crap? You are a complete idiot! I'm done with this thread as once again people just don't understand hot vs. cold air. I swear, some of you guys simply change your air filter or your plug wires and swear it made your car so much faster, give me a freakin break! You think that such a simple change is good for 20 HP. Get a clue! Yeah a full exhaust system will yeild a noticable difference, a set of gears umm yes, a filter by itself?? NO! Use your K&N, All I said was that it is sucking up hot air and cleaning it really is a hassle, wash it, wait for it to dry, oil it, set it onto news paper and wait for the excess oil to run off, install it and have oil residue near it! A race car is different. Oh yeah, then there is the occasional MAF that gets gummed up do to the oily residue. Later....
 
This one is sucking in cold air...
