Yes, back to the intake BS. So I decided to change my intake filter, I havent taken it off since Ive had the car(1 month) and I decided since my Lexus is getting one, why dont I get a new one for my 2 too?
SO i take off the piping first, and just..WOW.
The green HKS Mushroom filter is ..i mean..DRY ..like coral, and its crunchy, like cereal. The foam material is actually deteriorating. OK. fine, filter, easy fix. next thing. WOW AGAIN. the inside of my intake pipe is LINED WITH GRIME all over. just horrible...i dunno wtf the previous owner did to take care of this car. Anyways. Im replacing the filter by Monday evening and cleaning the pipe too, all at once.
My questions and thoughts are...
My intake position, etc somewhat bothers me, i dunno why. Just looks like too many bents, restrictions, etc. This is what it looks like:

Right off the throttle body, the stock 90 degree bend with all the rivets in it, can I just replace that with a 90degree 2.5inch diameter silicon piece? Also Im not sure about MR2's, but is it OK for me to cut down the piping so that its shorter? 2.5 inch piping all the way is good? And what is the biggest size filters you guys have tried? Havent found any info on that, even after searching.
And is this the GSR intake u guys are referring to?
