it goes to the air pump, you need to put a little filter on it

yeah the K&n intake has a lil hole on the side that the airpump hose goes to. Ive decided to put a lil breather filter that you can buy off any autoparts store for liike $6.00-$8.00. Check out the pic

Or you can attach the little filter right to the air pump and ditch the hose or you can ditch the air pump all together.

i like it with the hose and the lil filter right there. It keeps the K&n company so when it gets dark under the hood it has a companion

haha i was just saying that bc i found mine in the ricer section and all parts stores have them now. if you have oriellys that is the best store, the people are nice and the prices are the best. they also stock the ngk plugs for the 7s

I dont know if you guys are familiar with A&A Auto Parts but its a chain around my area that has damn good prices on NGK stuff (around $5.50 per BUR7's and 9's) They also have good prices and next day delivery on lots of performance parts like M/T slicks, etc. Its the only local chain I found that can compete with online pricing.

You can get the air flow meter adapter for $4.50 on ebay or the basic intake kit which is the adapter and a cheap cone filter for around $10-15 on ebay last time I checked. It doesn't include that mini filter though and the filter element is not very good. For the minimal power gains, I dont think its worth paying $150+ for a K&N or HKS kit though.

yeah i paid 130 for a bonez kit. came with an adapter plate and a filter.. and a small bag of screws





I got screwed. I could have gotten the plate for 5 bucks and the filter for 20.. Oh well, i guess that what i get for being dumb and buying it when i was an FNG to Rotary's
