Interesting . . thanks for posting this. I never knew if unshielded cone filters were any better than the stock snorkel box because my FC already had this mod when I bought it. And it would roast the tires a little too easily in first gear for my skill level; front wheel drive is all I have ever driven.



I do know, however, that just smoothing over the edges of the cone filter's adapter on the air flow meter makes an improvement in the midrange power and throttle response. Some adapters don't even match the afm's opening shape at all and need to be trimmed.

Its not. The peak hp might go up a hp or two, but you lose so much midrange from the sky high intake temps, and retarded timing that goes along with it. CAI is the only way to go.

I think a basic WAI would make more of a diff on a T2 vs NA.. that's probably why he felt it or his old filter was just that restricted

ya know i did notice that the old filter was SHOT!!!! so i could've just gained more HP then normal because it freed some origanal horse power...

You can buy a cheap adapter on Ebay. I bought one including a K@N filter for 49$ a while back.
