Default RE: 2000 xc70 air intake

1. Stay with your stock intake setup.

2. If you must get a "performance" air filter get a K&N panel filter.

3. No you wont have to have your ECU re-tuned for a panel filter. Because your not flowing any more air then you were with the stock air filter. Your MAF controls the amount of air that is let into the system.

4. If you want an open air filter be forwarned that you will not get anymore Hp or increased air flow. You will get HOT AIR sucked into the engine. Which is a NO NO, BAD.
