hi guys,

i bought a cone filter but for the life of me aint got a clue how to install it.shall i remove the stock filter box and the air flow meter and bung it in the pipe comin out of the engine? somebody told me that i shud only remove the filter box and install directly onto the air flow meter, the end of the air flow mtr where my filter box goes on to looks like it is square (so i assume it wiil be square when i remove the box) and the end of my cone filter is round? help is needed because i dnt knw wat im doing, dont want to fuk up my car by removing the box and the AFM. Help will be much appreciated

YOu need a tube too to go from the hfm to the cone filter. Otherwise, you are too far inside the engine bay and will only suck in hot air (even worse performance).

I did it that way for awhile. Sounds awsome but I dont think you get any better performance if anything its worse :D But it sounded cool, and looked ghetto as hell all zip tied up :D
