considering that a new cone air filter is only 25-35 bucks... might as well just replace it since you don't know how long it's been since it was last changed...

Trash it. Just get a stock intake. Its a CAI and the V6 will never be choked down by it.

Re: stock 2.8 cai keep it or trash it

What someone had done is shorten up the intake path.
That round things is the stock air filter holder that sat in the front corner.

So they moved it up as close as possiable to the intake to lose that funky transistion piece that was inbetween. Though I can't tell if the MAf or AT sensor is on there or not. probably is or should be.
