overall a great compliment to the 2.5L powerhouse known as the Boxer!!!

that filter looks like it'll let a lot of crap into the motor, scary.

Also do you think the tubing part would work with the stock filter box, in order to make the "hybrid" intake?

[StatGSR]

ditch that filter ASAP, or at a minimum, cover up that mesh on the end!!!

also your the first person ever to call an NA 2.5 a powerhouse....

from looking at the stock and modded pics side by side, they look to line up in the same spot so IMHO i would say the stock filter box would work.

yeah, i should have put "powerhouse" in quotes. i was thinking of getting one of the AEM dryflow filters or maybe just a cover for the filter.

[ESSYMOND]

cant you just pop in some k&n filter?

[chrish8r]

cant you just pop in some k&n filter?

i could try that as well. that ABS braking module is very close to the filter so im restricted to shorter filters. ill have to look around.

[02_Legacy]

If you measure the filter that came with the intake I'm sure you could find one of the same size that is a K&N, they have just about every size.
Here is a link to the sizes they have: http://www.knfilters.com (http://www.knfilters.com/search/univcone.aspx)

Good deal man. they have so many freaking different sizes. more than i thought they'd have. thnks

[ShadowGT]

I have a Cosmo SRI like yours but mine is blue. I tossed the crap filter they sent me and I bought a universal fit K&N cone filter with a chrome end cap.

Same car, old picture, slightly different set up but same Cosmo SRI with K&N filter.

You can also get more power if you build a heatshield to prevent all of the hot air from the engine being sucked in because colder air= denser charge = more power.

also if you would like to see how it looks just go to my ride

[ShadowGT]

What is that heat shield made of? I think I can fab one up on my own with some stock metal we have laying around here.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Looks great! I got a CAI from Cosmo about 6 months ago!!!

that heat shield does look like it would help out. how did u attach it to the car?

i made it out of 1/16 inch diamond plate aluminum but just plain aluminum will work.

it fits in their pretty snug with the foam but i also put in a little L bracket and bolted it to a previous whole towards the front. the air filter also helps a little but over all its realy snug and it never moves.

Cool, when I get some time I'll mock one up with cardboard to make a template.
By the way, I have an open hood scoop and I live in on the gulf coast of Texas. It rains and floods all the time. Been running like this for almost 2 years. Not a problem. But I am removing the K&N cone filter and cleaning / reoiling it every few months. It gets very dirty.

[chrish8r]

did this a while ago but put on a heatshield..........

i perssonally dont have enough time with it yet to give you a lot of info now but as far as i could tell the pick up was good and there was a little bit of growl. it doesnt scream like the SRI but thats good. and i hope the fuel efficiency will go up cuz the SRI killed the fuel efficiency.....all in all.....i would say go for it.....good luck

[sorapolc]

had a lot of fun reading this. possible to get links to sites of the stuff? did it all come from one place? except for the K&N filters. Or do you have to buy everything separate?

the webiste is www.cosmoracing.com (http://www.cosmoracing.com) and it all came from there. i now have an AEM dryflow filter on it cause they dont specify if it is an oiled filter or not.

Isn't it cheaper to just do a 93,94,95 2.2L intake swap. Pretty much OEM and same design as a hybrid for only $20-30 from your local junk yard.

[mycargoesvroom]

Much cheaper. You can also pick up an intake tube on eBay for next to nothing and achieve the same thing if you don't have any yards local to you.
