WTB: Conical Intake

I'd like to get a conical air filter to replace the OEM filter box. If you have one you'd like to sell, let me know!

Re: WTB: Conical Intake

I have a conical filter with an adapter plate which attaches to the mass airflow sensor with 4 bolts and replaces the stock air box. Is this what you're looking for?

Re: WTB: Conical Intake

2 things, most of what your looking for can be bought at any local auto parts chain store, advanced auto, auto zone, orielly's.

And 2 if your keeping the filter in the engine bay where the stock box sits your going to be getting warm air flow which is going to hurt performance, stock box pulls cold air from the wheel well area. there is a resonator in the fender well that you could remove if you want faster air flow, or you could put piping through the fender with the air filter in the wheel well. That is what I did.

Re: WTB: Conical Intake

Thanks for the tip, 92 SVX.

The part I'm not sure about is attaching the cone to the MAF. Do I need a custom piece for that?

Re: WTB: Conical Intake

Yes you do, unless you butcher the MAF to remove the flat plate with the 4 bolt holes. You can then attach it with a hose clamp but can not go back to the stock air box.

Let me know if you are still interested in my pre-made one and I'll send you pics.
