If you're putting this on a C4, you'll get a lot more square inches (and flow) through a stock sized K&N, the stock C4 filter is huge and pulls cold air pretty good.

with the above, the stock filter has much more surface then that aftermarket filter. I would stick with the stock system....WW

All that will do is pull in hot air from behind the radiator

On a MAF car (88) you can't just remove the duct work and what not in front of the TB and bolt that K&N cone style filter on. On a MAP car yes but then you'd still have the hot air issues.

The stock setup breathes pretty well.
