would it be okay to just take an put a k&n cold air intake air filter an just put the filter right on to the maf sensor
i no it sounds dumb

RE: would it be okay
 

I think it would put too much restriction on the air flow at the MAF sensor. The sensor needs a free flow of air to do it's job.

Has it been done? Yes
Is it the best setup? No
Is there a chance the oiled filter will get oil on the sensitive MAF wires? Yes

IMO, a hacked airbox and a drop in replacement filter will get you the same results as a "Cold air intake". These engines really don't have too much trouble breathing once you open it up a little.

okyay thats what i wanted to no lol how big of holes do u put in the stock air box
dose any one mabey have a pic of it

RE: would it be okay
 

Everyone does the box mod differently. I had some hole saw drill attachments that were 1.5" and I drilled 3 holes. One in the bottom, and two on the side facing away from the engine. It really freed things up. Some cut the whole front off, which is probably what I should have done.

well i just took an made the front hole alot bigger an put a 2in hole it the bottom an two 2 in holes in the side that face the motor will that be okay i misse read what was sayed an i put them in the wrong side will it be okay

RE: would it be okay
 

Modifying the box by drilling holes may actually decrease your performance. If you just want to open things up a bit, just remove the tube (helmholz resonator) from the front of the air box and call it a day. Reason being, all those holes just allow air from under the hood (hot air) to be drawn into the engine which sort of defeats the purpose. That is the largest problem with these "cold" air intakes out there. They do nothing to actually seal off the filter from hot engine bay air.

well it seamed to help out fer now till i can get a cai
