well, i dont want to have to buy an expensive ass air intake kit so I'd just like to buy a filter and throw it on the end of my intake tubing(97 sunfire GT) i found a filter but the thing that im really worrying about is its size. the filter is about 5inches across and about six inches wide at the base (and prob 5 across at the top{conical shape})
does the size of the filter affect that much of the function of the air intake? it's a respectable size for the filter for a 4cy but i was just wondering about this.
well i have no idea as far as ur question goes but i went on ebay and bought a intake for a 2.4 cav and coustom welded a bracket to it and then painted it and only spent 40 bucks all together and it works fine. if u want to see it click my profile. may give u an idea.
I threw a cone filter from like auto zone on my 3.1 and felt a pretty decent jump in acceleration but ive never dynoed so i dunno
The idea of a larger filter is a free air flow. Just about any size is OK, However, you will get a better gain, and sound if you replace your stock ribbed hose with either a plastic or metal pipe.
mine just goes from the throttlebody i build it out of the stock hose and put an really large exhaust pipe in it and the end, reactive super high flow filter. the total cost was under $40
dude check out ebay jus bought one for 35.00 shipped. excellent intake. and wat can i say CHEAP.
Here's the one I made. It's some crappy intake off eBay that isn't even made for our cars even though eBay says it is, a 6" piece of 3" pipe I got from Autozone, and a 4" section of the stock intake I used as a coupler. All it cost me was $40 and an hour of my time.

Victim of the double post...
yea, i was just kinda worried that i might have lost some power, but i couldn't really tell with the butt dyno. seems to have a little more turbulance than before so yea EL Feugo i need to get a aactually pipe.
It's something I noticed a distinct difference. I ran around with a cone filter on my stock tube for a ling time before I did the aluminum intake. It's not that there's a ton more power or anything like that but just the throttle response made me smile. It's so crisp and smooth now. And that nice sucking sound makes the little punk ricers on Saturday night turn their heads.
