I had a K&N cone type filter on my car before, during and after my car had the BBSC.
I thought it was a benefit since it would pull in more air. However, I was just anxious to do a mod and didn't research or think about it logically.
IMHO, using the cone filter does provide 360 degrees of air inlet. However, if it is just directly to the TB then I understand it to be sucking in all engine compartment hot air which is exactly what you DON'T want.
I then went back to the OEM setup for a little while. I then bought a Uni Filter and have been happy with it. Then once I added the Cantrell scoop I could hear a difference. Honestly don't know if I added any illusive HP or not but it gives me the pyschosamatic(sp?) feeling that I did.
I don't know if putting a cone style filter into the OEM style box would be more beneficial than using a OEM filter or a/m type replacement one.
BTW, what, if any kind of side intake do you have? Is it the OEM or a/m of some type?
