19169, Stock intake Question
Posted by xEclipsE RaceRx, Apr-02-02 11:09 AM
I was wondering if I took that gay box thats around the square filter and add a cone filter to the end of the intake tube like 95EclipseGSPA will it increase HP more???? and what do I need to pick up??? Can I just goto a AutoZone or sumthin like that and pic up a cone filter...do I have to get an adaptor? Should I have searched for this question first before posting it???hehe

I want mines like 95EclipseGSPA

small pipe to give the intake something to tighten down on just to make sure you dont loose your filter

You can do that or just remove the resonator that is attached to the stock air box and use a drop in K&N filter. I could tell NO DIFFERENCE taking off my CAI and putting my stock airbox with K&N and no resonator tubing back on.

Thx for that attempted drawing..im still tryin to understand it...but I think i got it...but did you say that you could feel no difference between a CAI and a stock intake with a drop in filter? So what are you sayin this does increase HP? Increase HP yes or no (hehe Im kinda slow)
I feel like going out tonight and buying a filter....so what kind do I need to pick up and how much do they run???? So I dont need no adaptor....jus a filter???

I bought a $35 intake with filter. Took the filter off , added my stock tube to the new tube and the filter to the stock tube. This puts the filter below the engine and to the left with the filter facing forward. That is a $35 COLD air intake verses $200 Looks good and works great.

I bought a filter that attached to the stock intake pipe.
I bought a $99 ebay cold air intake.
I bought a K&N stock replacement filter and removed the resonator pieces.

ALL 3 felt the same powerwise.

No the I used the mounting brackets that came with the new $35 one to secure the the lower end the stock half. As I said it works excellent.
