   how much do i gain with cone air filter? what improves?
   
   i understand that more cool air which is denser gets in the engine and that explosion is greater, but how does it manifest on the road?

   i wouldnt buy an open cone filter an enclosed one is the chap to go for. As for results it differs engine to engine and the only way t really tell how much you gain is to get back to back rolling road sessions

   may need to modify the connection hoses to the throttle body and possibly fabricate your own mountings, but other that that you can get universal kits from BMC
