IF SIZE REALLY MATTERED......
ok, guys....let's go for yet another shot at the question "does the size really matter?"
we all know that putting wheels that are too big on your car will slow you down quite considerably...(unless u got some Volkracing wheels....if you do, don't tell me...)
but WHAT ABOUT THE SIZE OF YOUR CONE FILTERS? does size play a critical role in making more HPs?
i've come to notice that the K&N cone filters are bigger than the rest of the field. and i was wondering if having a bigger filter should yield more HPs...
what do you guys think?

Bigger is better only up to a point. If the engine will only suck in xxxx amount of air, then having a filter that's cabable of allowing xxxx+xxx air, does no good. Size is not the only factor but in this case we'll keep that way.
HMMMMMMMM

just didn't wanted to spend so much money on Stillen Hi-Flows....but i guess i'm gonna have to get one today!!(if i can get off work early enough....)
how much is the Hi-Flow anyway? wasn't it like $160?

maybe i outta just buy a K&N drop-ins....but i don't like the sound of an enclosed filter....I like them LOUD~~~~~

Wait, now you getting into something else. Which is the design of the stock airbox. Regardless of the filter, if the stock airbox design is restrictive then that will also limit the airflow into the engine. IMHO the stock airbox design is restrictive. You will note that the turbo mag test probably used the stock airbox design for both tests.
I had a K&N panel filter and then switched to a JWT cone. IMHO the cone flows better. Maybe not necessarily becuase of the increased filter area but becuase it got rid of the stock airbox. Maybe because of both reasons.

the thing is that when the Turbo Magazine ran their maxima SE with a K&N drop-in filter, the car only lost about 2 hps compared to a run WITHOUT a filter....

It's my engine. VE. The part you see is the right cylinder bank w/ the covers removed. The sproket on the left is for the exhaust cam and the sproket on the right(w/ the large buldge) is the for the cam advancing VTC assembly attached to the intake cam.

I got it painted by a buddy of mine. But he did not match the color perfectly, he said that Pearl is a B*tch to match. Anyways I recommend to go to a reputable shop ($450-$650), that way if they fvck up your kit or the paint, you can make them do it again. My buddy just gave me the finger, but that's another story.
