Hi !! That's not a question.......................................

I only wanted to tell everyone my mod lol

Well... I bought a Vibrant Performance Air Filter + the adaptor for the air flow meter, cost me 21.34$ + 34.31$ + tx = 64.01$ CANADIAN DOLLARS....... in US it's like 46.32$

BUT we don't have the same taxes............. sooooooooo lol

Without taxes it's 55.65$ CAN or 40.27$ US

Now, this filter is FAT!!!!!!!!!!! Man, I thought I was going to just remove the black plastic thing and the stock filter and drop the new filter there with the adaptor...... hmmm In fact I had to remove all the plastic thing under the stock filter + (the tube in the fender..)

Well... Now I'm not sure if I like it lol
At idle the filter is really screaming, I don't know if it's normal but anyway it's a little anoying, maybe I'll get used to it.

Oh, it took me about 1hour, that includes 15minutes of headache to figure out how to install it lol

I'm sorry if I wasted your time but, well... I'm not sorry

 

same here.

 

replacing the restrictive stock airbox with a cone filter does make a difference. hope you enjoy.

 

oh yeah i forgot to mention that.........

yeah hope you enjoy

 

Well, in fact I don't see any difference but the sound

Also, is it normal that the tip of the filter is just like a mesh grill ?!? shouldn't it be a filter??

 

uuuuuuh i'm not 100 % on that mine is just solid on the end i guess it just depends on the manufacuturer? i would think its aight if its being sold but then again alot of things that ppl try and sell you are crap............like saturns and kia's.......lol

 

Well... I got it from a store near me and the store buy its stuff from ekeystone.com ....

 

cone vary in styles and design. mesh on the end sounds a little weird though.

i know the APC filter i have has a conical indention on the end that looks just like the outside of the filter. works great from what i can tell.

you may want to have a shop take a look at it. they can tell you whether its for real or not.

 

Mesh on the end is actually normal for the filter you purchased.

Sounds to me like you got one of our 'Type-V' style filters, with the stainless steel mesh/filter element in the end-cap.

The Type-V filters were designed to minimize air turbulence caused by the filter. The end cap was replaced with a special design that has filter media across the entire surface of the end-cap.

The end result is a filter that flows much smoother then a solid capped filter cone. The Type-V filter flows smoother then our 'Funnel Ram' style as well, but the gains are smaller then over the solid end cap designed filters.

HTH,
