Can you guys help me with my CAI?
I took my bumper off to replace my ballast last night and to clean/recharge my air filter. I had the CAI on my car since like 2002 and 20k miles , I now have 165K miles so it needed some TLC! I bought a rechager kit for $10 and did my thing. I am gonna invest in a new one and a new by-pass valve cuz the foam came of mine and the rubber broke. I took some pics can u tell me if u guys know the model # or what kind it is , I know its K@N!

If I went with a longer wider one would it increase performance?
more area for air to come in = more air comming in, more air comming in = more HP...
Am I right or it will not make a difference if I put a larger cone filter on there?

its good to have a bigger filter to a certain point
if ur FI then having a bigger filter is better. for NA its what the engine can suck, so after a certain point a bigger one is pointless. really.
judging by the size of yours, get the same one a a bit smaller (length wise) if u want.

Check out the K&N website. Last time I was there I was able to type in the dimensions of the filter I wanted and got a part number.

Funny the link to there webdite came up on the bottom of my post so I clicked it.
Do u guys think the 12" long one will be better or should I just stick with the 9" one.

Make sure it will fit behind the bumper.

be careful though. the longer the filter, the closer to the ground youll be which increases your chances of sucking up some water a little bit greater. just throwing that in there.

it's a 3" diameter but as mentioned you might have clearance issues with a longer filter. Put the old one back on and see how much extra room you have.
