I currently have a Fenderwell BBK Intake, with a stock Throttle body and Egr. I was wondering if i could ditch the Fenderwell part and just run a K&N filter straight off the MAF? Would the car run better times/idle Etc? If so what size filter will fit the stock MAF.

Also how can i maximize my induction on the stock H C I, and whats the best combos for my car?

Actually, it would run worse with the fan wash throwing off the MAF reading. Leave the CAI the way it is and be happy you are getting air from a cold source.

Difference would be very very very minute... dont bother unless ur current filter is just shot.

If you drop the filter off of the maf, it will idle fine and run alright, but you'll be sucking in the hot air from the engine compartment instead of from the fenderwell were the air is cooler.
