on my lunch break, went home, and found my new e-bay bought cone filter had arrived. I want to put this on right away, and I know I can get a small airpump filter at an autoparts store, but my pump will be gone within a month...here's my question: Do I necessarily need to put the filter on the pump intake? will it ruin it, or mess something up that I'll need?

Seems like the filter was 5 to 10 at Pep Boys here in OK. I'd put it on though. Leave it there for a couple of weeks, hollow out the cats, take off the air pump and the belt, and I wouldn't worry about the dual alternator pulley. I've had my air pump off for about 9 months, and I haven't had any slipping problems at all.

The pipe that runs from the air pump the cat will need to connect to the RB Pre-silencer, so you might not want to remove the air pump after all. At least, that's the way I understand it (The little pipe running off the side with the flange on the end.)
