96 Legacy Filters

What do you think of the K&N in my car. Will it mess anything up? Should I go with a flat filter, or would it be better if I got rid of the stock intake and got a cone assembly one?

Keep your stock airbox unless you like the sound of induction noise. A cone setup also risks damaging the MAF, something you definitely don't want to do.

So if I want a little more intake noise, what can I do?

Get a panel filter and remove the in-fender "snorkus". Another alternative would be the Cobb 1999 2.5RS intake, but that's very pricey. It should fit, should get you some more power and is nice to the MAF because of the design.

I know that there are a lot of different brands of panel filters. I also know that the K&N is a bad one. Which brand is safe for the MAF?

K&N is not inherantly bad. The people that over oil them are bad though.

I have had a K&N on my 98 GT for the last 70,000 miles with no problems. The key is to follow the directions provided with the "charger kit" and not over-oil the filter.
