air filter question
I posted this under general questions but should have posted it here. Anyway hope someone might have an idea.
The 2003 car I purchased recently has a Halltech filter. I went to their web site but can not find one that looks like mine. The filter looking from the engine compartment is not accessible from there and I am not able to get it out to clean it or change it. I can just barely see the filter. But mine looks like it is right behind where the license plate would be. If I removed the panel (where the plate would go) would I be able to get to it and if yes how do you get that front panel off?
Does nayone have a Hallteck system like that?

I've got the Halltech Stinger myself but its on top and easily accessible. I don't know which one you have but if its that bad, I would seriously consider removing it. BTW, mine from them is a washable type.

Sounds like you have a Trap intake with the tunnel port.You install/remove this air filter from under the car.Remove the six screws that hold the shroud to the bumper.Then you can seperate the bumber enough to remove/install the air filter.I used to have a video of the install but I lost it and the Halltech web page has long removed it.Maybe a google search will find it.It's not a hard job once you have done it once.

Halltech support is pretty good and Jim Hall was on the forum just yesterday. You might shoot him an PM to see if he still has the video.
