Hi,
I notice that most members' cars have a cone filter fitted. I picked up an unbranded burgandy red cone filter for a couple of pounds at my local scrappy. It looks brand new. Considering using it on my Celica, but does it really make a difference over the stock Toyota panel filter? Perhaps I should look at a K&N panel filter to go in the stock air filter box? Also, being in the UK and as my Celica is my daily drive, the engine bay gets quite damp, salty and grubby. How do cone filters cope with water and dirt build-up? Should I be looking to box the cone filter in a similar way to the stock air filter box? Finally, where is a good place to fit a mass air flow sensor with the stock setup and with the cone filter fitted?

Open element filters, cone, paper, foam, whatever it is... is mostly for the sound. The power increase is too small to really notice.

The power increase is too small to really notice. I disagree. When i installed my cone and cold air feed, the difference WAS noticable! The throttle response was a lot faster and any flatspots in the acceleration were removed. There is no doubt that increased cold air flow into the engine makes a difference. -------------------- |
