How to switch to a regular air filter?

Is there a way I could put a regular or aftermarket air filter, the round type that just bolts to the carburetor on my rx7? If I can, what do I do with the extra hoses and what not? Thanks.

The only thing that bolts tp the nikki I know of is the Racing beat power pulse assembly that sells for $50.

There was another company that made one they claimed was better than the RB one but I forget who.

Rotary Performance sells a smaller lid and bolt combo that make for more area to draw air in from but I personally think I could build a better intake.

You could always make something custom or cut up a factory intake as I did.

I am going to figure out a cowl induction or some other cold air intake for my car when I get it running again.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, I would just like to get rid of the whole blue air cleaner assembly thing, and have a more uncluttered engine bay.

found this on EBay. A RB power pulse and K&N for 55.00 US (or bid) Seems like a good buy

Just some info

Thanks but I still want to know what happens to all those hoses that go to the intake, do they get plugged up or something?
