I have that on my '02. Agree that cones suck. But this "cold air intake" kit is not a cone. All it consists of, is a silicone hose and a block-off piece.

The factory air box has a huge long air filter, but the motor only uses half of it. If the restriction gets to be too much, a spring plate opens and it can use the other half.

The fabspeed cold air kit simply eliminates the spring plate thingie, the airbox sound muffler, and replaces the factory corrugated plastic hose with a smooth silicone one. It allows the motor to breathe through the entire surface area of the air filter, all of the time.

You're welcome to come take a look at mine if you want to see it.
