    pros: medyo mag iimprove ng konti ang acceleration pero with a 1300 cc car, baka hindi maging noticable.

    cons: none i can think of, except maybe of the initial price that you may be paying on the conversion.

    ako, stock pa rin ang airfilter ng 1991 el ko.
    i made sure to replace it annually along with the fuel filter.
    alaga na lang sa tune-up para fuel efficient ang ride mo.

    I agree with Zero, used to have an EL too and was thinking on the same line as you John, but after considering everything, regular tune-up na lang and regular replacement of air-filter oks lang yung engine.

    stick with your stock filter nalang if you don't need/want the extra speed. it's cheaper and less of a hassle in the long run
