K&N Conical filter - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Okie, I've decided to go with the K&N cone filter for my Firebird. Just a couple questions for the guys who have done this. What size of filter would be the best to go with, i've heard 3.5". And, where is a good place to re-locate the air temp. sensor when I take that little filter can out? Thanks.

3.5"! ditch the little elbow after the MAF and attach it right to the MAF.

check out the post "Place to out the air box sensor."

i replied to that with pics of my setup on my 1990 bird. however, in 90 MAFs were no longer included...woohoo. anyway, you can take a look there the pipe is 3" and the part number for the filter is in my sig. it shows where i stuck the sensor that was in the OEM canister too
