Do I need the wire mesh inside the filter?
Also, could I just take the air box off and put the new filter there?

Are the pictures below the MAF?

Cone Air Filter

I am still not understanding this mod.... a plastic bag over the intake, how does the engine breathe? My only logical comparison would be put a bag over your head and zip tie around your neck, yeah water isnt getting into your lungs but either is oxegen. Anyone else not really understanding the plastic bag thing or is it just me.....

You will probably need an adapter to fit it on the MAF. Something similar to this depending on the size of the coupler.

Alright thank you. Do you know if I will need the wire mesh inside of the filter?

I don't see any point in that being there unless the filter its self doesn't do the job. I've never seen that before. It seems kinda stupid. What kind of car was it on?

Jaguar. I don't think I'll leave it there because it isn't the right size anyways.

You will absolutely need an adapter put bolt it on to your MAF.

I put the cone filter on just now and it runs great! The car is idling at 1k and when the A/C is on, 750. It runs absolutely fantastic when the MAF is NOT plugged in, and when it is plugged in, the idle drops and the engine seizes and starts to cut off unless you rev the engine up. Anyone know why this is?
