Hello, I'm sorry for the novice question but here it goes. On this website I read that replacing a tubular filter with a panel air filter can help improve airflow without being a big mod, maybe trimming the little fins inside to let it lay flat. My question is, assuming I have the process here correct, what size/# panel filter would I use for this? I assume it needs to seal around the sides, so is there more modding required or is there one that fits flat inside?
On the subject of performance, my interest in finding this forum was partly because my CR-V has been having trouble lately going up hills. Mountain roads I should say, but I have been trying to figure out what I can do to fix/help it have more power in this situation. Any insight into that as well would be appreciated. If it's a big enough subject I'll make another thread, but figure it's a general maintenance question not a modding/performance one.
Thanks!
