s5 air intake
I am putting a cold air intake on my car, when i removed the air box i found a spring loaded cone thing in the pipe. I was wondering what it was for and can i get rid of it. also what size air filter do i need for the air pump.

I thought the spring loaded cone was the MAF which lets the car know how much air is being drawn in, if you turn the car on and push it in it'll stall.....

ok thats what i thought.
i need a new air filter and was thinking about just using a k&n cone filter and a small one for the air pump, but would that make any kind of diference compaired to just a drop in k&n one?

^ I dunno try searching. Any breather filter from a parts store will work for the air pump. I took off my intake pipe today and noticed I couldn't push the spring loaded cone thing in the MAF in at all. Am I supposed to be able to? I could've sworn that thing moved before...
No the MAF's aren't compatible between S4 and S5s (https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...&highlight=MAF)

to steer you in the right direction:
http://www.knfilters.com/search/univ2.aspx?ID=S0013
then select:
flange inside diameter
then select:
64mm [for the s5 turbo MAF, i'm not sure about N/A S5]
then submit.
I'm using the RC9700, which looks kind of small to me, but works fine, and is offset to help with spacing. I'm sure there are better choices.
Use the search option at above site to locate a small one to go over the input hose of the air pump.
