KN filter with an inverted top.
And that's why I said not to my knowledge.  I didn't look at the custom caps.

Doesn't matter who makes it, inverted cones are cr@p.Get a composite top cone. Side note; For those running their filter outside there engine bay, get an ITG foam filter.

What was wrong with the filter that came with the CTA intake? Mine is good, beside the oil from the filter dirtying my MAF, which I had to clean off.
I still have the stock MAF on like you, mabie you should get a larger one that can support the air flow of a larger filter and OTB.

Its an inverted cone filter, which has been proven to be less effective than a standard cone with a flat top.

Only one person on this site has a Zetec than needs more airflow than a stock panel filter can flow (which is between 220 and 240 cfm) and that's Hector (and me when on nitrous).
Yes an aftermarket filter will flow 500 to 800 cfm, but our engines don't need it.
A 2L engine producing 160 HP requires about 225cfm (varies depending on Volumetric Effeciency).
All the extra airflow equates to nothing more than longer intervals between filter cleanings and a bit less of a pressure drop across the filter.
The only real reason anybody swaps over is because its cool.
I have a K&N panel filter in the stock airbox and you know what, it yields the same 1/4 times as a K&N cone filter in the wheel well.
Why? Both draw cold air and both will outflow my engine.

yeah that looks like the one i have, universal. true i got it because it looks good. i was actually wondering if it was hurting idle performance and related issues by reducing air velocity in the intake tract causing the air to stall and the maf to not get a proper reading. you can see it in the pictures on the link below. ive ditched the rain guards, tinted the windows and got a set of khumo ecsta 711's in 215/50 15 since those photos.
by the way, my cta intake didnt come with an inverted cone filter, just a regular cone flat nose style.

The MAF should be atleast 6" from anything that might cause turbulence to allow the airflow to smooth out as much as possible.
I know I am guilty of not following this, my only complaint about my intake.
I will probably get a MAF screen (like the SVT) to help smooth out the airflow.
