Stock ATS air box?

[Thatoneguy]

Sorry again cents for another rookie question... But I've seen so many mixed reviews on the stock ATS air box. I'm thinking about putting a cowl setup on but would it be worth my time to fab up a new air box for the filter? I've heard the stock filter tends to not filter very well. Input appreciated!

I've always sold the stock cast housing to pay for a better filter setup but replacing the K&N filter with a good paper filter should eliminate poor filtration issues

Ya I'm just trying to get past all the crap people all over the internet have posted on this subject lol.

Really no one's got any other input?

The whole stock setup has poor airflow design! Fab up a setup so you can have fresh air coming from the grill into a filter chamber then to turbo with as little restriction as possible. There are many post about this

Does yours still have the K&N filter or a paper filter? A paper filter will not let any crap into your turbo like the K&N but will not flow very well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Motorc...er-/172581830796?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l4275

So the stock air box came with a K&N flat type filter?? I plan on removing the stupid snorkel part of the intake no matter what I end up doing.

I believe so but someone may correct me, I've never seen one without an oiled flat filter

Ya me neither. If I can just stock with the stock air box and use a filter that's not gonna be restrictive or let crap into my motor then I'll go that route with a cowl on the intercooler!
