i dunno if this guy still posts here but i have a question. on a stock engine, would this still apply?
my reason is that on my bros civic 1.5L 12v carby motor, in the airbox there is a covering at the stock CAI. its there to distribute the airflow evenly all around the circular air filter. i have removed it and now the air only hits the filter at the entrance of the CAI.
the pro is that the air intake sounds sharper although i dont know if the car is any different. should i just put that cover back on?
i'll pics this evening if requested

I modified the airbox on my previous car to get the effect DualCarb was talking about. Don't know if it really made any difference. Don't think it did.

I don't reackon removing that cover will do any damange. Probably still wouldn't be able to get the volume of air in as you would by flipping the lid. However, it is likely to ruin your air filter quicker as it will be sucking through one part of it instead of distributing the dirt more evenly.

just wanna know what size of the bike filter did he bolt it in ? :eek:

You mean the diameter of the joining tube? You should be able to see the carb throats if you take off the airbox lid. Should be easy enough to measure.

Since dualcarb dosn't seem to check here anymore check out this thread on dseries. http://www.d-series.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23877

This is where alot of this information orginated plus more.

thought so. that why i rotate the filter regularly :p

Anyone's got a picture of the cone filters ?
no idea what they look like

just go autobarn and get the UNI FILTERS.. and custome ur own size ..

Hi Chingaling,

Is the uni air filters from autobarn (smaller CAI type) the same as the cone filters he's talking about ?
cos now, it's just stucking 2 smaller pod filters rather than one CAI with pod filter

Just get any filter that will fit. Check the diameter of the carb throats and take that with you. Also check how much clearance you have with the firewall to work with. The original poster used motorbike filters so if you have the measurements maybe check out your nearest bike shop. See what they've got.

Here's some examples:
