Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread

So you have a cone filter is inside the passenger fender?
How do you clean it/install it?
Do you have to remove the fender or does the filter fit through the hole in the fender from under the hood?

Doesn't the stock air box take in air from the same hole your using to stick the cone filter through?
So why not just leave the stock box there and put in a high flow rectangular filter in it?

Are there any #'s for replacing just the accordion plastic to the MAF compared to a full intake into the fender, on the SVX?

I know on my 2001 Impreza, removing the box and going to a pipe with a cone filter on the end decreased low end torque.
That the air in the box at the ready helped the performance, that is why the "gonzflow" style makes use of the stock box and filter, instead of a pipe and cone on the end.
Then again, the air filter box on my impreza was at the motor, not the fender, and I didn't have this MAF stuff to deal with.

I am just wondering if its worth the trouble switch to a cone in the fender.
