Instead of a cone filter. I have heard that the cones create air turbulance and also gum up the MAF with filter oil. Besides those things, why is it better to use the stock box?
I am thinking about putting it back on and keeping my cold air piped into it from below.
I am looking for opinions from people who have tried both ways(cone and panel).
thanks,

longest running debate in the history of TCCoA.
Here are the FACTS:
No one has proved K&N filters produce more power
No one has proved cones produce more power.
It's as simple as this:
If you like K&N product use it - either cone or panel.
If you go with a cone - seal it in a box or put it in
your fender well.
If you stick with your oem air box - duct it to the
front - it won't hurt, it MIGHT help.
If you want to use a paper filter, change it often.
Is one setup better than the other? NO ONE KNOWS.
IF there is a difference it's going to be SMALL.
I have gone back to the oem air box with a K&N panel filter
from an Autophysics cone. Can my super-calibrated a$$ hairs
feel any difference? No. Did I do a smart thing? I have no idea.
