Default Any small air filters?

Im trying to gut my stock intake box and get a small air filter so I have room for my nitrous bottle in there But im having trouble fnding a small filter.

Ive seen some before like little round (breast shaped) air filters made of like foam but cant seem to find 1 now

If anybody has any info on this that would be great.

Trust me, you don't really want a small air filter. Small air filters = small amount of flow. I've run MANY air filters on the turbo setup on my Monte and the smaller ones had a noticable power loss.

But I believe the filter you are thinking about are the HKS foam type filters. They had good flow but their life was shorter than most and are not cleanable.

Whaddya gonna use, a Sneaky Pete? Don't think a pressurized tank is such a good idea in the warm engine bay. Maybe below the passenger side dash?

I agree, but sometime they warp NOS bottles with warmers not to let them freeze..

But a bottle of that size will run out before the bottle starts freezing.

Yeah thats what I was thinking it would be a good place for it cause they use warmers so they dont freeze and under the hood is a nice warm place...

Yeah it will run out quick, but last longer then the sneaky pete bottle lol.

Im just wanting to put the bottle and some gears in and go see if I can make some money in my "stock" s2000



also thanks for the name of the filter thats the exact 1 .

winning is winning, i dont care if the dude farted a good one or use n2o, winning is winning


don't you think all the stuff in the airbox would be bad for air flow?

if you have a chance look under the airbox/were the the beam are, you'll see a decent sized space that you could mount your bottle, when you all done, put the airbox on top and no one can see it.

and it's right behind the radiator so it's gonna be nice and warm
