And on top of that, make sure u shield the filter from the engine heat... too much heat = less power, more fuel consumption.

altis stock rampipe is 3inch...but there is MAF sensor at the filter box...tat one can remove or attached to the box directly?

if tat the case, u gotta customized a rampipe to fit in the MAF sensor...before u can fit in ur open port filter...

and for better effect on performance n fc...u can go workshop to do a heatshield, this is to block the hot air going in to the air filter....and conect a Cold Air Intake to the filter, to allow colder air from outside to be suck into the filter.

my 2cent n corect me if im wrong

Or to save the hassle and cost, just opt for a replacement filter... at least 40% better than stock.

yea..K&N dropin is ok....just plug n play....hassle free...

The Japanese designed the airbox for a reason... to keep the heat out. What u need to do is to divert more air in. Upgrading the stock filter will help a little but adding CAI (cutting a hole on the bumper and put aluminium tube to airbox) will help a lot.

yeap... japanese are not malaysians... they do know what they are doing and design cars for passion...

malaysia only know how to do it for profit....

so, if u wanna save hassle, sell off that open-port filter, buy a drop-in filter element.... direct fit into ur airbox....

Well to all Sifus...

Thank you very much for your advice...Well than i'll guess i'll stick to a Drop-in K&n filter... but does any 1 knows how much or estimate the market cost for the drop in type?

I'll just sell off my open pod air filter... and get a K&N.

Any way thanks

K&N is a proven product... so, no regrets later. Some cheaper air filters can cause more harm to the engine because they don't filter dirt particles very well.
