Hi... kinda in a rush to replace my cone filter for my stillen intake... called Stillen who said it costs $60 w/shipping and would ship in five business days. Do I need to buy Stillen or can i go with something else? If I am able to buy another cone, does anyone have feedback on what I should go with???

PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!! & THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

 

try cleaning it first with K&N cleaner.......

 

what he said

 

FORGOT TO MENTION... I cleaned it with the cleaner and noticed a 1/4 inch hole (length wise), and was recommended that I replace it. Keep em coming pls!

 

just get a K&N cone filter from a auto store

Another org member said there have been many cases where ppl w/ K&N cone filters blew their MAF

 

thats a K&N filter that comes with the stillen intake. it just says stillen on it and they charge more for it

 

advance auto parts have it. drive there

Can't drive anywhere w/o a filter lol... i'm leaving soon with my friend to find one but there aren't any advance auto parts here that i know of. thanks for the info! keep em coming!

 

buy a cone from any auto parts.. the MAF crap story, if it's going to go bad it's going to go bad.. so don't worry about it......

 

Yo Sizzo, you live in new york, there are a lot of performance part palces where you could buy a filter from. Eastern Racing is in Queens near LIE, if you heard of it, or a bunch of other smaller lesser known stores that sell performance parts. You just gotta look for them.

 

panty hose

get a walmart filter... i really don't see anything wrong with them. Made by APC but hell, i dont think you'll notice that much of a performance loss.

btw, K&N cleaner would even be cheaper.... jus like what everyone else said.

 

or you could put your stock setup back on

 

hey fellas, thanks for all the responses! problem has since been resolved. this is what i did... i went to a local auto parts performace store called Claws here in NYC... they had one generic filter (some name brand??? lol) made with K&N filter material and it looks very much like a Stillen cone... the only difference is that instead of having a metal plate on the shorter end like Stillen does with their logo, there is a vortex shaped dip (picture a volcano)... the guy there was selling it for $65, however, i managed to get away with it for $60 (not a bad price considering Stillen's sells theirs for $60)... so after i bought the cone i jetted back home because my parents needed the car moved from the driveway... i found out that my mom tried starting the car without the cone! but i guess i can't blame her since she wasn't aware... anyway, when i got home i installed it and started up the engine... took the car a bit of effort to start but eventually it got going... the car is running fine now, and as a matter of fact, it seems to have improved acceleration and it sounds great! so... out of this ordeal, i bought myself a pretty decent intake at a local performance shop that i'm extremely happy with (it would have taken five days to receive if i had gone with Stillen's cone) and best of all, my car is running like a champ again! i'd like to thank everyone for all your responses and support. i wish you all a happy and healthy!!

 

Good to hear, now yell at your mom for trying to start your car!!

I don't think she could have really damaged anything unless there was a sand storm going on
