Actually its not a paper cone. Its cotton. The filter can be cleaned as a K&N filter can be. But im not trying to back this filter up or say its the same quality as K&N. I have always ran K&N and I know that K&N filters are much more higher quality than this one. Im actually doing this intake for fun and really don't have the money to spend on a high quality setup as far as top of the line products.

Today I am returning this filter and going to purchase a smaller cone. Im going to stop by the hardware store and try to extend the cone into the fender wall as much as safely possible. Possibly even see if they have something where I could block off some of the engine heat. Im going to try to stay away from any wood or fairly easy flammable material. I will see what they offer.

Ill try to get some pics if I can get around to it today.

Thanks for all the input!

if your crafty. you can take the piping into the fenderwall and curve it down into the fender. that way it gets it completly away from the engine bay. a little easier then trying to build a barrier to protect it from engine heat

Alright!!

After about an hour at the hardware store and a few returns, I now have a much better install!! The cone is halfway in the fenderwall and is covered. Smaller cone too. I just went for a test drive and it is like night and day. Now I have the whining with a little power increase.

Stay tuned for pictures a little later this evening!

with the series III engine like I have there is the MAF sensor to deal with, its a PITA, I'm trying to figure out the proper way to mount the filter to the MAF then to the throttle body with the wizair box and have the filter sit inside the wizair nicely

Wizair is great, but damn I cant spend that kind of money on a intake!

I would watch out for the edges of the that opening rubbing into and making holes in your filter.

It whines a lot, but I like it.

The only limitation you will ever face in life is yourself!

or just put some extra tubing before the MAF. the maf would problew have to be inside the box tho to get the filter in there like you want it.
