Default New air filter setup for I6

Just put these on. Two 48mm Emgo pod filters attached right on the throttlebody. I guess I'm lucky to have a 95 with a MAP instead of a in-line MAF sensor, otherwise this wouldn't have worked. I noticed alot better throttle response and even alittle more power. Just thought I'd share for anyone wanting to get rid of the restrictive air box system.





I got them from here, 48mm Pod Air Filter 48mm Pod Air Filter Emgo [E12-55748] - $8.25 : Out West Motorcycles, Parts for classic and vitage motorcycles

Thats what I thought when I got them. But when I measured them, together they have about the same surface area as the stock filter.

Oh, and another benefit, they have a great induction sound

you know you might be able to do a ram air system with that set up
the problem i see is where is the fresh air coming from? its getting all the engines hot air.

I was lazy and got a k&n set up with a giant filter on the end and it comes with a box to use the stock snorkel to pick fresh air, I know it costs a bit more than your set up, but I'm pretty sure its a better set up. Not hating, I used to do stuff like that to my mercury topaz ten years ago

I thought about this. I might add some ducting to channel cool air on the filters. I don't think it will matter much power-wise on this engine tho. Hell, the warmer air might even give better MPG.

They arn't valve cover breathers, I've used them before on bikes, and had a larger single one on my Accord track car.

If you were to cut the filters about and lat them together, the surface area is the same as the stock paper filter.

colder air = better mpg right? denser air and all.
