It'll be safe but all you'll achieve is sucking warm air from the engine compartment ( and hence produce less power).

Yes it's fine, will make the desired noise you want.... You will hardly notice any difference.
You would hardly notice an increase of +/- 5% so it hardly makes no difference. Crack on

We've all been there. I've drilled the airbox of my old Audi TT in the past to get a better noise.
More recently, I fitted a K&N cone filter to a Porsche 996 I used to have. It didn't like it at all. All sorts of error messages came up and it ran like a bag of nails. Had to revert back to the original filter.

Hiya,
If there is space available, could you just fit a cone filter directly to the intake of the engine? Opposed to using a short ram, as a means of 'extension'. Is this dangerous at all?
Avoid direct fitting to a FI engine. The air mass sensor needs a short span of stable air flow or it gets confused. Short ram good.If there is space available, could you just fit a cone filter directly to the intake of the engine? Opposed to using a short ram, as a means of 'extension'. Is this dangerous at all?
