see how that MAF harness is up against that reservoir (or whatever that is) it could have worn and broken the wire/connector.

if it was running fine, then you swapped the filter to stock, then swapped it back and it ran like crap... then it must be:

A) You forgot to hook something upB) the MAF has a leak behind it (clamp not tight enough, etc.C) Bad wiring or connection. Turn the car on, and wiggle the harness and plug to the MAF, see if you get a change in performance.

yeah, it really depends on what your car is doing. like, how is it running, specifically, now that that little cone filter is in there.

That air filter gives you at least more 50bhp. Keep it on so you can smoke Hondas.

I say nay. Get yourself a Sr20 with an Apex i filter or you can clean the filter and MAF.

if you are gonna spend money on a filter i wouldnt waste it on a K&N though, ive seen WAY to many dyno runs where the stock drop in made more then a K&N cone filter.... just my 2 cents though....
