i cant take off the whole intake (dont ask), all i can do is change the filter. should i just throw in a kn rectangle filter or a cone filter. also, what size rectangle filter do i need and will i need any adaptors if i get the cone filter?

theres very minimal difference (1/2 - 1hp) between cone and regular airbox filters, its really upto u and ur budget.

im sorry i did not word it right. i CAN remove it, but i am not allowed to as of right now (dad a bit too careful about this stuff, gets annoying because its very easy to do) im thinking of just using the rectangular kn filter because a cone filter on stock intake will look very stupid imo. anyway, anyone know the correct size rectangular filter i will need?

what would the performance difference be with a short ram intake with kn filter rather than a drop in kn filter? the intakes on ebay have the filter a little closer to the engine bay and heat and i was wondering what would be better.

I have a cone filter on my stock intake and it works fine, and I'm sure is just as good as the Injen...well almost. Check my profile for pics -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

hmm, it looks better than i imagined. what did you use to secure the hose, if anytyhing? i know an adaptor is needed for 94-96, but i have a 97 and i was wondering if i needed an adaptor also to attach a cone filter with 3" hole, i havent really taken a good look at my intake.
