stupid noob question
Before hand i want to apologize and say that im new to working on any type of car, what i know is based off what i read from this forum so thanks in advance, Well here is my stupid question. So i decided on replacing my air filter with one of the cone shaped ones i've heard it gives a small boost and better gas mileage, but when mentioned to someone about it they told me that i need to get something for the air flow meter in order to make it function properly so my question is, Do i need something for a the air flow meter and if so whats it called? all help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Sorry, my bad for not looking at your profile. You'll need some kind of adapter for the MAF. You can probably either make one or buy one off eBay. RX7.com sells a fancy one:

Don't just stick a cone filter on there. If you do, you will suck in hot engine bay air and probably gain little to no power, or even suffer a loss. If you are going to go to a cone filter, you need to build a proper cold air box around it.

dude just LOOK at your intake lol.....it is sucking air from the very front of the car. it's not going to get any colder than that. cone filters are a total scam. they also cost a leg for no reason and filter like junk and let a lot of crap into your engine.
it's even funnier when they come with a METAL pipe, as if metal is a good insulator...
just use some common sense with these things, don't believe everything the ad says.
