Just bought a K&N cone air intake, now what should I do?
I just got a K&N cone air intake off ebay to replace the stock airbox of my 96 max, and I'm looking to make a cold air intake. Do you suggest I get a CAI kit from ebay and replace the crappy foam filter with my K&N, or should I just put on the K&N leaving the stock intake pipe in? Cuz I heard from some old thread on this site that the stock intake essentially acts like a CAI. Or can't I make my own cold air intake, which would be cheaper? Any info or suggestions would be great.

Or just buy a true cai and prepare to cut a hole in your fender.

I dunno, whatever boosts my HP the most. So if I get a true cai off ebay or sumthin' the K&N should fit on the pipe, right? Or are the pipes made to fit the size of the filters they use, which I noticed seem a lot smaller than the K&N i have. I guess I'm just worried about getting a cai and finding out the K&N won't fit on it. Also, how big would the fender hole be, and where? Help me out herre, I'm just a maxrookie

90% of the filters are 3 inch and all the ones that u see for the max are most likely 3 inch, what you have to decide is if u want to use just the adapter and filter or get a midpipe and get a cold air extension as well u can get the whole set with mid pipe and cold air extension for like $55 on ebay

I looked up the size of the K&N filter I have (prod. # RU-2520) and it says the one I have is a 4 inch filter (or it gives the "mounting flange inside diameter" as 4 inches)....?
Also, creating a hybrid intake is basically just putting on the K&N and leaving the stock manifold in right?
One more thing, emissions. What will and won't pass emissions?
