OK I read the directions and looked at my cars filter box and I see why the hole is there but why do some people have to be stupid and just cut the hole instead of drilling it.
The filter has the hole but the hole is torn, will this effect the performance, it will close together but it is torn in two directions.
How much would a new filter cost, seeing how this is the main component of the kit I think it would be expensive. The reason I bought this was because It was supposed to give greater gains than the k&n, but if they are the same I can pick up a new filter if they make one, and does anyone make a filter that the IAT will plug in?
