well i was in the garage today and decided i should look at the filter lol since i bought the car and never have....whoa was it trashed and bent all to hell i dont know how air got thru it!!!! or what it was sealing!!!!! im guessing someone was to lazy to take off the intake and tried to squeeze the filter in.....ok to the question.

what good does a cai do?
should i just replace the filter with a k&n in stock air box
put a k&n cone on replacing the box?

Prokiller's advice is what I would do too.

Be aware that many Ebay specials have an engine compartment mounted filter - it works great for many but it's not my cup of tea (I live in the desert and it gets really friggin hot under the hood, let alone fan wash, etc).

You can also do a home-fab CAI like Grady, PSU and others have done.

Good luck.
