Ok I had this idea a couple days ago, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about it. It's only for people with CAI's.
The idea is to take a flat K&N filter (like the stock drop ins) and flatten it out, cut a 3" circle (its wavy, and this way you'll get more filter), and basically stick it in the intake tube. Less restriction, same filtering, would have to be cleaned or replaced more often but you would still have extra discs of filter that cost the same as a new filter all together. I figured the air has less of a path to follow and can go straight to the engine. No more filters, or heat getting to the filter. It would be funny to show someone your engine and them seem confused when looking for your filter...
If this seems like a good idea (to you guys) I'll check out HomeDepot tomorrow to find some type of 3" circle (2 pcs.) to hold the filter in place, and I'm still figuring a way to hold it into the tube..
Let me know what you think guys.
