    Actually its not a paper cone. Its cotton. The filter can be cleaned as a K&N filter can be. But im not trying to back this filter up or say its the same quality as K&N. I have always ran K&N and I know that K&N filters are much more higher quality than this one. Im actually doing this intake for fun and really don't have the money to spend on a high quality setup as far as top of the line products.

    Today I am returning this filter and going to purchase a smaller cone. Im going to stop by the hardware store and try to extend the cone into the fender wall as much as safely possible. Possibly even see if they have something where I could block off some of the engine heat. Im going to try to stay away from any wood or fairly easy flammable material. I will see what they offer.

    Ill try to get some pics if I can get around to it today.

    Thanks for all the input!

    I was originally gonna' go with the wizair for my Gp, but after seeing and reading about yours, and how cheap it was to make, I decided to give it a try, and mind you, up until yesterday, I had never done anything to a car more complex than an oil and air filter change. After spending about forty-three dollars at home depot and auto zone, I returned to my driveway and went to work, and sure enough, in all of about thirty minutes of work, my custon CAI was complete. When I went to take it for a test drive, I was nervous as hell, because for one reason or another, things always seem to go wrong for me on big projects like that, but after about two hours of driving, my temp gauge was actually slightly lower, my average econ. was on the rise, the sound of my supercharger was amplified, I had no check engine lights, and most importantly, I felt more top end power!!! Thank You!
