New Air Intake Filter

Hey guys i have a 96 lx

I finally found a Performance cone air filter. But its 3" in diameter, well this fit on the escort hose with a MAF adapter?

I heard there could be problems and power loss putting more then a 2.5" filter on. Is this true?

Thanks,

For your information.
The 3" filters are normally for cars like the mustang but it is possible to put it on your escort.
All you need is a maf adapter that is 3" in diameter. You can not have any more oversized piping or severe bends after the MAF. Either of those two things reduce air velocity and cause turbulence which also reduces air velocity. These can cause incorrect MAF readings.

If you have a 2.5" Maf you can buy a silicone intake reducer adapter and put the 3" on that.
