Default icebox question...
Really quick...a Comptech Icebox can be used with the stock intake hose and filter right??

The guy at options auto said that it can be only used with the Compteck intake.

I have seen numerous tests that show a cotton-type filter media (K&N) to perform better than foam.

I personally would never put a foam filter on my engine.

Stock filter kinda short. Must use a bigger filter...preferably the 'BLUE' one. I mean it'll fit but..ehhhhh...
