I don't recommend neither heating or cutting the original springs, since that would change their tension resistence and they could eventually break apart while moving.

lol, the vac gauge stopped working, and shows a constant 0,6.
Found out the hose has melted shut  the hose is 30 cm from the exhaust manifold. i must buy something more heat-resistant

What does it have for heat-shielding around the exhaust manifold and the hoses that run too close to it? |

the manifold is cast. It has no shielding, everything just goes around the manifold instead- except the vac gauge line i put too close

Looking at statistics, i got the highest MPG when i had the cone filter.

If it didn't affect the performance so much negatively, go for it. |

i think it got warmer air thru it. And it was less restrictive.
